• Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price
• Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price
• Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100%
• Loss% = (Loss / Cost Price) × 100%
• Selling Price = [(100 + Profit%)/100] × Cost Price
• Cost Price = [100/(100 + Profit%)] × Selling Price
• Selling Price = [(100 – Loss%)/100] × Cost Price
• Cost Price = [100/(100 – Loss%)] × Selling Price
• Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price
