PERCENTAGE –PROFIT AND LOSS
Cost Price: - The price of which a product is purchased is called the cost price of the
product (CP)
Selling Price: - The price at which a product is sold is called the selling price of the product (S.P)
Profit or Gain: - When selling price is more than cost price we say that seller has made a profit or gain.
Profit = Selling Price − Cost Price
Loss :- When selling price is less than the cost price we say that seller has made a loss.
Loss = Cost Price − Selling Price

Marked Price or List Price

The price indicated or marked or printed on the product is called as the marked price of the product.

Discount: The amount reduced on the marked price is called as discount, if discount is zero then S. P. = M. P.

Profit
% Profit = × 100

% Loss = × 100

% Discount = × 100

Important Points to remember

• Percentage profit or loss is always calculated on CP, i.e. the base is always considered as CP.
• Discount is always calculated on M. P.
• When a person sells two items at the same price, one at a profit of 𝓍 % and other at loss of 𝓍 % then we/the always
incurs a loss
𝑋 2
% Loss = (10)
• If a person claims to sell his good at the cost price and gives x units loss or saves x units than the actual quantity
then.

% Profit × 100

• If ‘a’ and ‘b’ are two successive discount percentage then equivalent single discount percentage

= a + b 100

 The symbol shown above C. P. and M. P. indicates that for % discount M. P. is taken as base and for % profit, C. P.
is taken as base.
Eg :- A shopkeeper sold goods for Rs. 3000 at a profit of 50%. Find the cost price of the article for the shopkeeper.
Solution:
In such problems when profit, loss, discount are given in %, it is
better to assume, C. P. , M. P., S. P., as 100, or Multiples 100

C. P S. P. (50% Profit)
Assumed 100 150
Gives 2 3000
By cross multiplication we get
100 × 3000 = 159 × C. P.
∴ C. P. = 2000 Rs.

Eg. :- A shopkeeper sold an article for loss of 10%. If he had sold it for Rs. 75 more he would have got a profit of 5%. Find C.
P. and S. P. of the article
Solution :
Here again profit and loss are given in percentage ; so we can
assume 100 as base

C. P S. P1 (10% loss) SP2 (5% Profit) More (Rs)

Assumed 100 90 105 15

Given 2 2 75

Therefore: For C. P Heads for cross multiplication are

C. P. and More
∴ C. P. More
100 ×75
100 15 ∴ CP = = 500
15
2 75
For S. P.
S. P More
Assumed 90 15
Given 2 75
90 ×75
∴ S. P. = 15
S. P. = 450 Rs.
3. The cost of 4 mangoes is equal to selling price of 3 mangoes. Find profit or loss percentage.
Ans. Let C. P of 1 mango = Rs 100
Qty. C. P.
1 100
4 400 = S. P. of 3
∴ Qty S. P.
3 400
400
1 = S. P. of 1
3
= 133.33
∴ For 1 Mango C. P.= Rs. 100 and S. P. = 133.37 Rs.
