What is Cost price, selling price, profit loss - Part 2

 

Now,

Suppose I purchased the can for Rs 20 and sell it for Rs 20. What is my profit or loss?

What is Cost price, selling price, profit loss - Part 3

 

Now,

  CP = Rs 20

  SP = Rs 20

 

So,

  CP = SP

 

Profit or Loss = CP − SP

= 20 − 20

= 0

 

So, when

  Cost Price = Selling Price

There is no Profit, no Loss
