The profit percentage calculator is used to find the difference between the price of an item that paid for and
how much amount it sold for, expressed as a percentage. By using this calculator we easily find the how
much profit earned when selling price of an item and cost price of item is known. If the selling price is more
than the cost price it is called as profit otherwise loss.
Selling price – Cost price x 100
Profit percentage = Cost price
Example 1: Cost price of a book is $45 and the selling price is $60.Calculate the profit percentage.
Solution steps:
Given that, selling price =$60
Cost price =$45
Profit =selling price –cost price
= $60-$35
= $15
Profit percentage = (15/45) *100
= 0.3333*100
= 33.33%
Answer is 33.33% of profit.
Example 2: Cost price of an item is $90 and the selling price is $120.Calculuate the profit
percentage.
Solution Steps:
Selling price =$120
Cost price =$90
Profit = selling price – cost price
= $120 -$90
= $30
Profit percentage = (30/90) *100
= 0.3 * 100
= 30 %.
