or If I brought it for $21 then sold it for $15, what's the percentage loss?How do you calculate a percentage profit or loss?
let
p1 = original (purchased) price
p2 = end (sales) price
percent change is price:
(p2 - p1) / p1 脳 100
if result is positive, it's a profit
if result is negative, it's a loss
so
(21 - 15) / 15 脳 100 = 40% profit
and
(15 - 21) / 21 脳 100 鈮?-28.57% profit or 28.57% loss
