IMPORTANT QA FORMULA SHEET (ARITHMETIC)
1. PROFIT & LOSS
S.No. Formulas
1. Profit = Selling Price (SP) - Cost Price (CP)
2 Loss = Cost Price (CP) - Selling Price (SP)
3 Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) * 100
4 Loss Percentage = (Loss / Cost Price) * 100
5 Selling Price = (100 + Profit Percentage) / 100 * Cost Price
6 Selling Price = (100 - Loss Percentage) / 100 * Cost Price
7 Cost Price = 100 / (100 + Profit Percentage) * Selling Price
8 Cost Price = 100 / (100 - Loss Percentage) * Selling Price
9 Discount = Marked Price - Selling Price
10 Discount Percentage = (Discount / Marked Price) * 100
2. PERCENTAGES
S.No. Formulas
1 Percentage= (Part / Whole) * 100
Percentage Increase= [(New Value - Old Value) / Old Value] *
2
100
Percentage Decrease= [(Old Value - New Value) / Old Value] *
3
100
4 Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) * 100
5 Loss Percentage = (Loss / Cost Price) * 100
6 Markup Percentage = (Markup / Cost Price) * 100
7 Discount Percentage = (Discount / Marked Price) * 100

Compound Interest (Annual Compounding) = P [(1 + R/100)^T -
3
1]
Amount in Compound Interest (Annual Compounding) = P (1 +
4
R/100)^T
Compound Interest (Periodic Compounding) = P [(1 + R/n)^(nt) -
5
1]
Amount in Compound Interest (Periodic Compounding)= P (1 +
6
R/n)^(nt)
4. TIME, SPEED & DISTANCE
Category Formulas
Speed Speed = Distance / Time
Distance Distance = Speed * Time
Time Time = Distance / Speed
Average Speed (constant distance) Average Speed = 2xy / (x + y)
Work Work Done = Time Taken * Rate of Work
Work Rate of Work = 1 / Time Taken
Work Time Taken = 1 / Rate of Work
5. TIME & WORK
S.No. Formulas
1. Work Done = Time Taken × Rate of Work
2. Rate of Work = 1 / Time Taken
3. Time Taken = 1 / Rate of Work
4. Total Work = Number of Days × Efficiency
5. Efficiency = Work / Time
6. M1D1H1W2 = M1D2H2W1
