  • How can I calculate profit percentage?

    To calculate profit percentage, use the formula profit upon cost price * 100. For example, if an item is bought for ₹1200 and sold for ₹1260, the profit would be ₹60. To find the profit percentage, divide the profit by the cost price (₹1200) and multiply by 100. In this case, the profit percentage would be 5%.

  • What is the formula for calculating discount?

    The formula for calculating discount is discount upon MRP * 100. For instance, if a discount of ₹100 is offered on an item with an MRP of ₹400, the discount percentage would be 25%. This is calculated by dividing the discount amount by the MRP and multiplying by 100.

  • How do I determine the percentage of loss?

    To determine the percentage of loss, use the formula loss upon cost price * 100. For example, if an item is bought for ₹15 and sold for ₹1470, the loss would be ₹1455. To find the percentage of loss, divide the loss by the cost price (₹15) and multiply by 100. In this scenario, the percentage of loss would be 9700%.

  • What is the ratio of cost price to selling price?

    The ratio of cost price to selling price is 728:25, resulting in a 42% profit. This means that for every 728 units of cost price, 25 units are the selling price. To calculate the profit percentage, divide the difference between the selling price and cost price by the cost price and multiply by 100.

  • How can I calculate profit on selling an item?

    To calculate profit on selling an item, subtract the cost price from the selling price. For example, if an item is bought for ₹100 and sold for ₹5805, the profit would be ₹5705. To find the profit percentage, divide the profit by the cost price (₹100) and multiply by 100. In this case, the profit percentage would be 5705%.
