Loss Percentage (Loss %) = LossCP×100=(CP - SP)CP×100
In the case of a gain or profit,
SP=(100+Gain%)100×CP
CP=100(100+ Gain %)×SP
In the case of a loss,
SP=(100−Loss%)100×CP
CP=100(100−Loss%)×SP
If an article is sold at a gain of 20%, then SP = 120% of CP
If an article is sold at a loss of 20% then SP = 80% of CP
If an article is sold at a loss of 20% then SP = 80% of CP

Loss %=( Common Loss and Gain % * 10)2=
