Loss

When an article is sold out at less price than cost price in that case You will get loss. For Loss case SP should always less than CP.

Basic Formulas

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

  • Profit or Loss is always depends on cost price but not on selling price
  • If an article is sold at a certain gain x then Selling Price = ( 100 + X ) % of Cost Price
  • If an article is sold at a certain loss x then Selling Price = ( 100 - X ) % of Cost Price
Example sum

Raju buys an mobile cover for Rs. 100 and sells it for Rs. 110. Find him profit?
Cost price = Rs. 100
Selling price = Rs. 110
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
= Rs. ( 110 - 100 )
= Rs. 10

Basic Formulas

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

Example sum

Rani buys an mobile cover for Rs. 100 and sells it for Rs. 80. Find his Loss?
Cost price = Rs. 100
Selling price = Rs. 80
Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
= Rs. ( 100 - 80 )
= Rs. 20

Basic Formulas

Profit % = ( Profit / Cost price ) * 100%

Example sum

Raju buys an mobile cover for Rs. 100 and sells it for Rs. 110. Find him profit percent?
Cost price = Rs. 100
Selling price = Rs. 110
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
= Rs. ( 110 - 100 )
= Rs. 10
Profit % = [ ( 10 / 100 ) * 100 ] %
= 10 %

Basic Formulas

Loss % = ( Loss / Cost price ) * 100%

Example sum

Rani buys an mobile cover for Rs. 100 and sells it for Rs. 80. Find his Loss percent?
Cost price = Rs. 100
Selling price = Rs. 80
Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
= Rs. ( 100 - 80 )
= Rs. 20
Loss % = [ ( 20 / 100 ) * 100 ] %
= 20 %

Basic Formulas

Selling Price (SP) = [ ( 100 + Gain % ) / 100 ] * CP
Selling Price (SP) = [ ( 100 - Loss % ) / 100 ] * CP
Cost Price (CP) = [ 100 / ( 100 - Loss % ) ] * SP
Cost Price (CP) = [ 100 / ( 100 + Gain % ) ] * SP

Example sum

Selling price of an article is Rs. 2220 and the percent profit earned is 20%. What is the cost price of the article?
Selling Price ( SP ) = 2220
Profit percentage = 20%
Cost Price ( CP ) = [ 100 / ( 100 + Gain % ) ] * Selling price
= [ 100 / ( 120 ) ] * 2220
= 370 * 5
= 1850
