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.

Profit=P
Loss=L
S.P=Selling Price
C.P=Cost Price
M.P=Marked Price
Type I
Profit %=
(𝑆.𝑃−𝐶.𝑃)
𝐶.𝑃
× 100
Loss% =
(𝐶.𝑃−𝑆.𝑃)
𝐶.𝑃
× 100
 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.
 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% =
(𝑆.𝑃−𝐶.𝑃)
𝐶.𝑃
× 100
=
(720−600)
600
× 100
=20%
Type II: Golden Rule
𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺.P
 F1=Factor after profit/loss
 F2=Factor after discount
Black Holes of Aptitude-Profit and Loss
©Mayank Gupt-makguffaw@gmail.com,9990123477
How to calculate Factor
 Let there is profit of 20 %, so F1 will be
100+20=120

120
100
=1.2
 Let there is discount of 3 % , so F2 will be
100-3=97

97
100
=0.97
How to calculate profit from factor:
 If factor is less than 1 there will be a loss, if factor is greater than 1 there will be a profit.
 Let there is Factor 1.2,so profit will be
1.2×100=120
120-100=20
So there will be profit of 20%
 Let there is factor .97,so loss will be
0.97×100=97
97-100=-3
So there will be loss of 3%
Exp1: By Golden Rule
𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑺.P
𝟔𝟎𝟎 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝟕𝟐𝟎
F1=1.20
So there will be 20 % profit.
Exp2: Atif purchased an article for Rs. 400 and sold it at 20% profit, find selling price?
Solution: 𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑺. 𝑷
𝟒𝟎𝟎 × 𝟏. 𝟐 = 𝑺. 𝑷
480=S.P

Exp3: Afeefa bought an article for Rs.1000, after getting a discount of 20 %, Find
Marked Price?
Solution 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺. 𝑷
𝟎. 𝟖 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎
M.P=1250
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: 𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺.P
𝟑𝟎𝟎 × 𝟏. 𝟐 = 𝟎. 𝟕𝟓 × 𝑴. 𝑷
M.P=480
Type III
𝑃 = 𝑀 − 𝐷 −
(𝑀×𝑑)
100
P=profit %
M=Marked above Cost Price
D=Discount
Exp5: An article is marked 40 % above the cost price and a discount of 30 %is allowed, what is the gain or
loss percentage?
Solution: 𝑃 = 𝑀 − 𝐷 −
(𝑀×𝑑)
100
𝑃 = 40 − 30 −
(40 × 30)
100
= -2
So there will be 2% loss.
By golden rule
Let C.P=100x
𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺
𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒙 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝟎. 𝟕 × 𝟏𝟒𝟎𝒙
F1=0.98
So there will be 2 % loss.

Original Price=
(10×180)
(100−10)×2
=10
Reduced Price =90% of 10
=9
Type V: If a person buys A goods for B and sells C goods for D, then the profit/loss % will be

𝐸𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
(𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑒 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 −𝐸𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑟 𝑉𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
× 100
Profit %=
200
(1000−200
× 100
=25%
Concept:
Let 1 gm =1 Rs.
He pretended 1000gm. =1000 Rs. (S.P)
But he actually gave 800 gm. =800 Rs. (C.P)
S.P/C.P=1000/800=1.25=F1
So there will be a profit of 25%.

• A dishonest shopkeeper sells an item for 10% profit but he makes a foul by
giving that item 20% less by weight. So the profit % he makes will be
Direct formula: Profit %=
𝟏𝟎𝟎(𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭 % + % 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭)
(𝟏𝟎𝟎−% 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐛𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭)
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
So there be will 37.5% profit
Type IX: Common Loss /Gain

Profit and Loss

  • 1. Black Holes of Aptitude-Profit and Loss ©Mayank 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.

Black Holes of Aptitude-Profit and Loss ©Mayank Gupt-makguffaw@gmail.com,9990123477 Profit=P Loss=L S.P=Selling Price C.P=Cost Price M.P=Marked Price Type I Profit %= (𝑆.𝑃−𝐶.𝑃) 𝐶.𝑃 × 100 Loss% = (𝐶.𝑃−𝑆.𝑃) 𝐶.𝑃 × 100  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.  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% = (𝑆.𝑃−𝐶.𝑃) 𝐶.𝑃 × 100 = (720−600) 600 × 100 =20% Type II: Golden Rule 𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺.P  F1=Factor after profit/loss  F2=Factor after discount
  • 3. Black Holes of Aptitude-Profit and Loss ©Mayank Gupt-makguffaw@gmail.com,9990123477 How to calculate Factor  Let there is profit of 20 %, so F1 will be 100+20=120  120 100 =1.2  Let there is discount of 3 % , so F2 will be 100-3=97  97 100 =0.97 How to calculate profit from factor:  If factor is less than 1 there will be a loss, if factor is greater than 1 there will be a profit.  Let there is Factor 1.2,so profit will be 1.2×100=120 120-100=20 So there will be profit of 20%  Let there is factor .97,so loss will be 0.97×100=97 97-100=-3 So there will be loss of 3% Exp1: By Golden Rule 𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑺.P 𝟔𝟎𝟎 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝟕𝟐𝟎 F1=1.20 So there will be 20 % profit. Exp2: Atif purchased an article for Rs. 400 and sold it at 20% profit, find selling price? Solution: 𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑺. 𝑷 𝟒𝟎𝟎 × 𝟏. 𝟐 = 𝑺.

Solution 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺. 𝑷 𝟎. 𝟖 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 M.P=1250 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: 𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺.P 𝟑𝟎𝟎 × 𝟏. 𝟐 = 𝟎. 𝟕𝟓 × 𝑴. 𝑷 M.P=480 Type III 𝑃 = 𝑀 − 𝐷 − (𝑀×𝑑) 100 P=profit % M=Marked above Cost Price D=Discount Exp5: An article is marked 40 % above the cost price and a discount of 30 %is allowed, what is the gain or loss percentage? Solution: 𝑃 = 𝑀 − 𝐷 − (𝑀×𝑑) 100 𝑃 = 40 − 30 − (40 × 30) 100 = -2 So there will be 2% loss. By golden rule Let C.P=100x 𝑪. 𝑷 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝑭𝟐 × 𝑴. 𝑷 = 𝑺 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒙 × 𝑭𝟏 = 𝟎. 𝟕 × 𝟏𝟒𝟎𝒙 F1=0.98 So there will be 2 % loss.
