Profit and Loss — formula, example and practice
Cost price, marked price and successive discounts — one formula family.
Content type: original worked example. Not labelled as a previous-year question.
Timed GK/quant mock Shortcuts CBSE Class 10 Maths 150 questions
Formula
Profit % = ((SP − CP)/CP) × 100 · SP = CP × (100 ± P%) / 100
Profit and loss compare selling price with cost price. Marked price and discount are a second layer on the same line.
What you should learn here
SSC CGL and CHSL like two-discount and dishonest-dealer questions. The dealer chapter is still profit-loss: false weight changes the effective CP.
If two discounts d1 and d2 are given, the single equivalent discount is d1 + d2 − (d1×d2)/100 . Do not add discounts as if they were simple interest.
Worked example
Question. An article is marked 40% above cost and sold at 10% discount. Find the profit percent.
Solution. Let CP = 100. MP = 140. SP = 140 × 0.90 = 126. Profit = 26%.
Common mistake. Taking discount on CP instead of MP, or using SP as the base for profit percent.
When to use the shortcut. Always pick a convenient CP (100 or 1000) unless the question already gives rupee values you must keep.

Are these previous-year SSC questions?
No year or shift is claimed on these pages. Each maths section has 150 original practice MCQs. When a verified source database exists, a question will show exam + year; until then it is practice.
Where are Class 10 board formulas?
The CBSE formula sheet at /cbse/class-10/mathematics/formulas/ stays the canonical board list. This maths hub links to it instead of copying every line.
Do you publish tricks that are only sometimes true?
Every shortcut page states when the trick must not be used. A speed trick that fails on close options is not published as if it were a theorem.
