Profit, Loss, Discount and Different Prices Formulas

Important profit and loss formulas

Profit = SP – CP

Loss = CP – SP

Profit% = ^Profit_CP × 100

Loss% = ^Loss_CP × 100

SP = (^{100 + Profit%}₁₀₀) × CP

CP = (¹⁰⁰_{100 + Profit%}) × SP

SP = (^{100 – Loss%}₁₀₀) × CP

CP = (¹⁰⁰_{100 – Loss%}) × SP

Discount = MP – SP

SP = MP – Discount

MP = SP + Discount

SP = (^{100 – Discount%}₁₀₀) × MP

MP = (¹⁰⁰_{100 – Discount%}) × SP

SP = (^{100 – d₁}₁₀₀) (^{100 – d₂}₁₀₀) (^{100 – d₃}₁₀₀) × MP

Single discount as percent = MP – SP

SP ⇒ selling price
CP ⇒ cost price
MP ⇒ marked price
d ⇒ discount
d₁ ⇒ first discount %age
d₂ ⇒ second discount %age
d₃ ⇒ third discount %age
