To find the selling price (SP) and cost price (CP) when the profit or loss percentage is given, you can use the following formulas:

  • Profit (P) Percentage:
    • If the profit percentage is given, use this formula:
      • SP = CP + (Profit Percentage * CP / 100)
    • To find CP when profit percentage is given, rearrange the formula:
      • CP = SP / (1 + (Profit Percentage / 100))
  • Loss (L) Percentage:
    • If the loss percentage is given, use this formula:
      • SP = CP – (Loss Percentage * CP / 100)
    • To find CP when loss percentage is given, rearrange the formula:
      • CP = SP / (1 – (Loss Percentage / 100))
