$\mathrm{Loss}=\mathrm{Cost\; Price}–\mathrm{Selling\; Price}$

The loss is the amount lost when the cost price is greater than the selling price.

3. Profit Percentage

$\mathrm{Profit\; Percentage}=\frac{\mathrm{Profit}}{\mathrm{Cost\; Price}}\times 100$

The profit percentage is calculated as profit divided by cost price, multiplied by 100.

4. Loss Percentage

$\mathrm{Loss\; Percentage}=\frac{\mathrm{Loss}}{\mathrm{Cost\; Price}}\times 100$

The loss percentage is calculated as loss divided by cost price, multiplied by 100.

5. Selling Price (Given Profit)

$\mathrm{Selling\; Price}=\mathrm{Cost\; Price}+\mathrm{Profit}$

The selling price is the sum of the cost price and the profit.

6. Selling Price (Given Loss)

$\mathrm{Selling\; Price}=\mathrm{Cost\; Price}–\mathrm{Loss}$

The selling price is the cost price minus the loss.

7. Cost Price (Given Profit)

$\mathrm{Cost\; Price}=\mathrm{Selling\; Price}–\mathrm{Profit}$

The cost price is the selling price minus the profit.

8. Cost Price (Given Loss)

$\mathrm{Cost\; Price}=\mathrm{Selling\; Price}+\mathrm{Loss}$

The cost price is the sum of the selling price and the loss.

9. Marked Price and Discount

$\mathrm{Discount}=\mathrm{Marked\; Price}–\mathrm{Selling\; Price}$

The discount is the difference between the marked price and the selling price.

10. Discount Percentage

The discount percentage is calculated as discount divided by marked price, multiplied by 100.
