Given N   and M   denoting that the Cost Price of N articles is equal to the Selling Price of M articles. The task is to determine the profit or Loss percentage.

Examples: 

Input:  N = 8, M = 9
Output: Loss = -11.11%

Input:  N = 8, M = 5
Output: Profit = 60%

Formula:-
 


Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Python3

# Python 3 implementation of above formula
  
# Function to calculate Profit or loss
def profitLoss(N, M):
    if (N == M):
        print("No Profit nor Loss")
    else:
        result = 0.0
  
        result = float(abs(N - M)) / M
  
        if (N - M < 0):
            print("Loss = -",'{0:.6}'
                   format(result * 100), "%")
        else:
            print("Profit = ",'{0:.6}'
                   format(result * 100), "%")
  
# Driver Code
if __name__ == '__main__':
    N = 8
    M = 9
  
    profitLoss(N, M)

                    

Output: 
Loss = -11.1111%

 

Time Complexity: O(1)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
