Selina Concise Mathematics class 7 ICSE Solutions – Profit, Loss and Discount

POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. The Cost Price (C.P.) of an article is the price at which the article is bought.

2. The Selling Price (S.P.) of an article is the price at which the article is sold.

3. If Selling Price of an article is more than its cost price ; it is sold at a profit (gain)

Profit = Selling Price-Cost Price

i.e., Profit (gain) = S.P. – C.P. and S.P. = C.P. + Gain

4. If Selling Price of an article is less than its cost price ; it is sold at a loss.

Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

i.e., Loss = C.P. – S.P. and S.P. = C.P. — Loss

5. Profit percent and loss percent are always calculated on cost price (C.P.) only.

i.e., (i) Profit % =   x 100% and

(ii) Loss % =  x 100%
6. Selling Price = Marked price – Discount
i.e., S.P. = M.P.—(piscount
Note : (i) Discount is calculated on marked price (M.P.)
(ii) Marked price is also written as List price.
