Can anyone explain tricks and tips for profit and loss and the entire concept
Answers
Answer:
1. One can generate a profit only if Selling Price> Cost Price
2. One generates a loss when Selling Price < Cost Price.
3. Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price
%profit = {(Selling Price – Cost Price)/Cost Price} x 100
4. Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price
%Loss = {(Cost Price – Selling Price)/Cost Price} x 100
5. Sale price :- If there is a profit of P %,
Cost Price = C
Then SP = {(100+P)/100}xC
6. If there is a loss of L %,
Cost Price = C
Then
SP = {(100-L)/100}xC
7. Cost price :-
If there is a profit of P %,
Cost Price = C
Sale price= SP
Then C = {100/(100+p)} x SP
If there is a loss of L %,
Then
C = {100/(100-L)}xSP
Below is the list of some basic formulas used in solving questions on profit and loss:
Gain % = (Gain / CP) * 100.
Loss % = (Loss / CP) * 100.
SP = [(100 + Gain%) / 100] * CP.
SP = [(100 – Loss %) / 100]*CP.
