Profit and Loss
What is Profit?
When a person does a business transaction and gets more than what he had invested, then he is said to have
profit. The profit he gets will be equal to the additional money he gets other than his investment. So profit can
be understood as the extra money one gets other than what he had invested.
Exp: A person bought an article for Rs. 140 and sold it for Rs. 120. Then he got Rs. 20 extra and so his profit is
Rs. 20.
What is Loss?
When a person gets an amount less than what he had invested, then he is said to have a loss. The loss will be
equal to the deficit he got than the investment.
Exp: A person bought an article at Rs. 100 and sold it for Rs. 90. Then he got a deficit of Rs. 10 and so his loss
is Rs. 10.
Cost Price (CP):
The money that the trader puts in his business is called Cost Price. The price at which the articles are bought is
called Cost Price. In other words, Cost Price is nothing but the investment in the business.
Selling Price (SP):
The price at which the articles are sold is called the Selling Price. The money that the trader gets from the
business is called Selling Price. In other words, Selling Price is nothing but the returns from a business.
Marked/Market/List Price (MP):
The price that a trader marks or lists his articles to is called the Marked Price.
This is the only price known to the customer.
Discount:
The waiver of cost from the Marked Price that the trader allows a customer is called Discount.
Profit or Gain:
If S.P. is greater than C.P., the seller is said to have a profit or gain.
Loss:
If S.P. is less than C.P., the seller is said to have incurred a loss.

๏‚ท Profit and Loss will increase or decrease with quantity according to the number of item, but Profit and
Loss percentage will not vary with number of items.
๏‚ท Profit and Loss will always be calculated on Cost Price.
Exp.1: Farqui purchased a radio for Rs. 600, He sold it for Rs. 720.What is the percent profit he earned in the
transaction?
Solution:
P% =

Black Holes of Aptitude-Profit and Loss
ยฉMayank Gupt-makguffaw@gmail.com,9990123477
How to calculate Factor
๏‚ท Let there is profit of 20 %, so F1 will be
100+20=120
๏‚ท
120
100
=1.2
๏‚ท Let there is discount of 3 % , so F2 will be
100-3=97
๏‚ท
97
100
=0.97
How to calculate profit from factor:
๏‚ท If factor is less than 1 there will be a loss, if factor is greater than 1 there will be a profit.
๏‚ท Let there is Factor 1.2,so profit will be
1.2ร—100=120
120-100=20
So there will be profit of 20%
๏‚ท Let there is factor .97,so loss will be
0.97ร—100=97
97-100=-3
So there will be loss of 3%
Exp1: By Golden Rule

So there will be 20 % profit.

Exp4: Nasir wants to earn 20% profit on an article after offering 25% discount to the customer if the cost price
of an item is 300, then the M.P of an article would be.
Solution: ๐‘ช. ๐‘ท ร— ๐‘ญ๐Ÿ = ๐‘ญ๐Ÿ ร— ๐‘ด. ๐‘ท = ๐‘บ.P

Exp17: A dishonest fruit vendor professes to sell his goods at a profit of 10%, but he uses a weight of 16 gm for
20 gm. Find his gain%?
Solution: Let 1 gm=1 Rs.
He pretended to give 20 gm=20 Rs.
And take 10 % profit on Rs. 20=20+10% of 20=20+2=22(S.P)
But he actually gave 16gm. =16Rs. (C.P)
S.P/C.P=22/16=1.375 F1

Profit and Loss

  • 1. Black Holes of Aptitude-Profit and Loss ยฉMayank Gupt-makguffaw@gmail.com,9990123477 Profit and Loss What is Profit? When a person does a business transaction and gets more than what he had invested, then he is said to have profit. The profit he gets will be equal to the additional money he gets other than his investment. So profit can be understood as the extra money one gets other than what he had invested. Exp: A person bought an article for Rs. 140 and sold it for Rs. 120. Then he got Rs. 20 extra and so his profit is Rs. 20. What is Loss? When a person gets an amount less than what he had invested, then he is said to have a loss. The loss will be equal to the deficit he got than the investment. Exp: A person bought an article at Rs. 100 and sold it for Rs. 90. Then he got a deficit of Rs. 10 and so his loss is Rs. 10. Cost Price (CP): The money that the trader puts in his business is called Cost Price. The price at which the articles are bought is called Cost Price. In other words, Cost Price is nothing but the investment in the business. Selling Price (SP): The price at which the articles are sold is called the Selling Price. The money that the trader gets from the business is called Selling Price. In other words, Selling Price is nothing but the returns from a business. Marked/Market/List Price (MP): The price that a trader marks or lists his articles to is called the Marked Price. This is the only price known to the customer. Discount: The waiver of cost from the Marked Price that the trader allows a customer is called Discount. Profit or Gain: If S.P. is greater than C.P., the seller is said to have a profit or gain. Loss: If S.P. is less than C.P., the seller is said to have incurred a loss.
