The three key formulas that can solve almost all Profit & Loss problems are:
-
Profit/Loss % = (Profit or Loss / Cost Price) × 100%, where CP is the cost price.
-
Discount % = (Discount / Marked Price) × 100%, where MP is the marked price.
-
Mark up % = (Mark up Value / Cost Price) × 100%, where CP is the cost price.
These formulas can be adapted for problems involving discounts, marked price, or successive gains/losses.
