This video demonstrates various methods for calculating profit and loss percentages in competitive exams, including scenarios where selling price of one quantity equals cost price of another, profit equals selling price of certain items, loss equals selling price of certain items, and combined profit/loss scenarios with multiple items sold at different rates. The instructor uses practical examples like mangoes, cupcakes, watches, and phones to illustrate how to find profit/loss percentages using formulas such as (SP - CP)/CP Γ 100 for profit and (CP - SP)/CP Γ 100 for loss, with special attention to cases where profit or loss is given as a percentage of selling price rather than cost price.

A fruit bought 150 mangoes. He sold them at such a price that selling price of 120 mangoes equals the cost price of 150 mangoes. Find this profit percentage.
So selling price of price 120 equal to price.
So CP of 150 CP into 150 equal to SP into 120. Cost price of 150 mangoes equal to selling price of 120 mangoes.
Okay.
SP 120.
So 0 0 then 4 3 are 12 5 3 15. So profit four parts price into 100. So 1x4% price into 150 150 cost price selling price of 120 mp if the cost price of 30 is equal to selling price of 40.
330 price selling price CP by SB ratio CP by SP.
So CP by SB ratio 40 by 13 by3 price into 100. So 1x4 as usual 25%. Okay.

So 3600 5%. So 5 by 100 into 3,600.
Okay. 0 0 0 5 into 36 180. So 180 profit. Okay.
One second.
12 kg. Okay. 12 kg.
Answer 20% gain 10% loss,800,800,800,800 3,600,800% 180% 360.
So 360 2160 then 10% loss. So 10% 180. So 180 20 17. So 1 1620 16 1 620 2 160.
So 0 8 7 3 So 37 8 3600 3780 number 180 gain of 180 both methods.
A trader buys 80 p at 8 rupees each. He sells 60 of them at 12 12 rupees each and remaining at 25% loss. What is the overall profit or loss?

complicated.
A man bought some oranges at the rate of 10 for 300. So price.
So cancel 35 remaining 225.
So CP ratio 65 30 75 35 CP profit percent 6 / 1 / 6 into 100 1x 1x 16 So 50 by3 50 by 3 now 1 33 3 remaining 2 63 18 so remaining 2x3 so 16 2x3 percentage 16.666% 16.67 67 right profit Simpleceptual profit percent.

So 62x3 percentage profit on CP.
ractice right and first if a profit on selling an article for 986 is the same as loss incurred on selling it for 726 then the cost price of the article is so SP 986 minus CP SP minus CP6 and then 726 loss CP P minus SP 726 then 98626 210 11 1 9 76 17 So 1712 CP 1712 divided by 2 A2 2 are 16 5 to 10 6 to 12 CP 856 simple eas,000 he spends 3,000 and sells it for 3000 price 24,000 So buys and CP man buys a sofa for 24,000 right he spends 3,000 on repairs and sells it for 30,000 30,000 SP 30,000.
So 24 + 3 27,000 27,000 30,000.
Okay. So then buy again. He sells it for 30,000.
Sorry.
Buying buying back.
at a loss of,200.
So, 200 minus,200 profit. So, So 300200 plus,800,800.
Okay. Right.
A dealer in a loss of percentage if he sells an article for 1805 CP.
loss of 5% loss percentain gain of 5% percentage of 1805. Last 1805 1805 cancel 25 19 215 180 180 number 5% SP P2 parts 1805. So 1805.
So 19 times 9 times then five times. So into 95. So into 95.
So 2 * 95 180 190 190 + 195 then 1 19 95 20 * 1 900 then 1 * 95 95 so 195% CP 209 CP Okay. CP900% last,85.
Okay.
Right. Right.
A product was sold for 980 resulting in a loss of 150. So 9805 to earn a profit of 270 instead. What should be its revised selling price? So CP so that 270 CP 1130 270 increase 30 plus 270,400,400 270 simple 15. So 15 selling price 15 price of 270. So profit price 13,400 selling price400 simplicer sold an article for 85.5 rupees at a profit of 12.5. Had he sold it for 81.7 then what would be his profit or loss percentage? So 12.5 sorry profit of 12.5 fraction 12.5 2 5 are 10 5 are 25 25 10 20. So 2 25 by 200. So 1 by 8. So 1 by 8 one profit 12.5 shop sold an article for 85.5 sold an article 85.5 had he sold for 81.7 what would be his profit or loss first CP profit loss 85.5 value so 85.5 divided by 9 into 84 CP so 9981 so 45 and 5 5945 so 9.5 into 8 8 5 are 40 98 72 so 72 + 4 76 CP 81.7 81.7US 76 5.7 5.7 profit percent 5.7 divided by cost price 76 6 into 100 36 86 50 219.3 So 25 So 25 into.3 So 7.5% 12.5 equivalent fraction 8 products 8 7 8.5 for 85.5 9.5 85.5 CP 76 CPU CPU 81.7 5.7 new scenario right a trader purchased a bundle of 15 notebooks for,200 and sold the entire bundle for,040.
The loss incurred is equal to the cost price of how many notebooks? Okay. So CPS CPS purchased a note bundle of notebooks 15 notebooks for,200. So CP CP 1,200 rupees 50 notebooks then sold the entire bundle for,4260 160 6024 CP of one notebook CP of one notebook 12 price of notebook.
So 8060 if the expendure of company A in 2023 was 660 crores and the profit percentage was 35%. Then what is its income in 2023? So expend 660 then right expendure divided by 100 into 135.
So 25 275.
So 0 cancel 33. So 33 into 27 73 21 1 2 3 8 91 Okay 30 into 27 8 3 into 278 81 so 8 91 1 in selling an item for 120 a shopkeeper earns x% profit. If it is sold for 20 more than the earlier price, the percentage of profit would be 2x. Then the value of excess item X% profit.
Okay. Selling an item for 120 X% profit.
If it sold for 20 more.
Okay. 100xing 80% item for 120.
No chance. 140 120 proportional 0 0 6 2 are 12 7 2 are 14 0 0 then 30 so 100 30% profit so 30% profit 130 then double profit so 60% profit 160.
So 13 13 140 13 12 16 14 7 8 then third one 120 sorry 20% 120 20% then 40% 40% 140 then fourth one 15% so 15% 15% 12 then 15% double profit 30% 24 23 13 14 23 240% profit. So 120 minus CP divided by CP into 100% X% X by 100X 2X by 100.
So 120.
So 140 minus CPI CP into 100x 100 cancel then X cancel 100 CP CPU CP 240US 2 CP then CP 140US CP CP 240US 140. So CP 120 100 CP 120% 40% 20 valid So, right respond buys three watches all within the same price for a total of 4,800. So same price 48.
So 1,600 1,600,600 moon watches the first at a profit of 200 then second at a loss of 100.
Third profit of 150.
So 1750.
What is the overall profit or loss percentage?
So 0 5 75 12 20.
So 4050 second 12 1222 50 sorry 4800 250 48 550 profit percent 250 divided by 4,800 into 100. So 0 0 0 cancel 4 2 4 125 then 125 divided by 24 right 4 6 4's are 3 4 1 4 25 6 5 6 30 26 12 1 6 6 So 5.21 5.221 to to 1% profit right.
Okay. So selling price selling price plus GST selling price plus GST including GST 1680 the rate of GST is 20% price 100 divided by 120 into So 112 48 4 into 100,400,400 selling price but cost price shop made a profit of 12%. So, shopkeeper made a profit of 12% CP,400 CP plus4 price. So cancel four times 25 + 3 28 then 25 7 4 7 are 27. So four 50 so 50 into 25 1250. So cost price 1250 SP plus GST selling price plus GST,68 thenst,400,400% profit learning 100 CP 400250.
Okay. Right.
TNC bankr code then practice groups.
And thank you all for watching. Keep learning until the next one. See you in the next one.
