Profit = Sale Price - Cost Price Loss = Cost Price - Sale Price. Meaning, when your S.P is greater than your C.P, it's profit and vice versa.

Loss is when you lose money And profit Is when you buy something a sell it for more.

How do you tell if its a loss or a profit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If your Sale Price is more than Cost Price, it's profit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If your Cost Price or the price at which you buy something is more than the price at which you sell it, it's loss.

OpenStudy (nathan917):

Well lets just Say you buy Something for $5 and you see every one else selling it for $10 And When you try to sell it you can only get $4.50 out of it.<-- You were trying to be greedy and you lost out on you money And if you sold it you would have made a profit if you sold it for $10<-- Would be profit
