A shopkeeper buys a book for ₹200 and sells it for ₹250.

  • CP = ₹200
  • SP = ₹250
  • Profit = SP - CP = ₹50
  • Profit % = (50 / 200) × 100 = 25%

Example 2: Calculating Loss

A fruit vendor buys oranges for ₹500 and sells them for ₹450 due to some spoilage.

  • CP = ₹500
  • SP = ₹450
  • Loss = CP - SP = ₹50
