Profit and Loss- Feb. 23. 2021

 Profit and Loss- Calculating the Selling Price


The cost price is the original price of an item. 

The selling price is the new price which an item will be sold for. It may be more or less than the cost price. 

    If the selling price is more than the cost price, a profit has been made. 

    If the selling price is less than the cost price, a loss has been made. 




(e.g) Mia bought a phone for $600. She sells it to make a profit of $200. Calculate the selling price. 

                                    Selling Price= Cost Price + Profit

                                                                $600       +      $200

                                                                    = $800




(e.g)  The cost price of this tablet is $500. It is sold and makes a loss of $100. Calculate the selling price of the tablet. 

                                                       Selling Price= Cost Price - Loss

                                                                $500       -      $100

                                                                    = $400
