Worksheet on Cost Price, Selling Price and Rates of Profit and Loss

In the topic of profit and loss, we have understood the concept behind cost price, selling price, profit and profit percent and loss and loss percent. Following formulae should always be remembered while solving the problems related with profit and loss:

i. Profit = Selling Price – Cost price

           = S.P. – C.P.

ii. Profit percent = \(\frac{S.P.-C.P.}{C.P.}\) x 100 %

                        = \(\frac{Profit}{C.P.}\) x 100 %

iii. Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

            = C.P. – S.P.

iv. Loss percent = \(\frac{C.P.-S.P.}{C.P.}\) x 100 %

                       = \(\frac{Loss}{C.P.}\) x 100 %


From above formulae, one thing is clear that profit occurs when selling price is more than cost price and loss occurs when selling price is less than cost price.


Now solve some questions based upon above concepts.

4. An owner of Honda City car sells his car at a price of Rs 7,50,000 with a loss percent of 12.5%. Then find the price at which he purchased the car and also find the loss suffered by the owner.
