Chapter Contents

Abbreviations used in the following formulas:

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

Profit = SP – CP

Loss = CP – SP

Profit% = \frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100

Loss% = \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100

SP = (\frac{100 + Profit%}{100}) \times CP

CP = (\frac{100}{100 + Profit%}) \times SP

SP = (\frac{100 – Loss%}{100}) \times CP

CP = (\frac{100}{100 – Loss%}) \times SP

Discount = MP – SP

SP = MP – Discount

MP = SP + Discount

SP = (\frac{100 – Discount%}{100}) \times MP

MP = (\frac{100}{100 – Discount%}) \times SP

SP = (\frac{100 - d_{1}}{100}) (\frac{100 - d_{2}}{100}) (\frac{100 - d_{3}}{100}) \times MP

Single discount as percent = MP – SP
