Calcular beneficio, precio de coste o precio de venta a partir de valores dados.
Profit calculations involve three key values: cost price (what you paid), selling price (what you sold for), and profit (the difference). Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price. Profit margin as a percentage is calculated relative to the cost price: Profit % = (Profit / Cost) × 100.
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price. Profit % = (Profit / Cost) × 100
- Buy at $80, sell at $100 → Profit = $20, Margin = 20/80 × 100 = 25%
- Cost $50, 40% markup → Selling = $50 × 1.40 = $70, Profit = $20
- Sold at $90 with $18 profit → Cost = $90 - $18 = $72
Cómo reconocerlo
- Problem mentions cost, selling price, or profit
- May ask for profit amount or profit percentage
- Markup problems are percentage-based profit calculations
Errores comunes
- Confusing profit margin with markup
- Calculating percentage based on selling price instead of cost
- Mixing up which value to subtract from which
Resolución paso a paso
Una tienda compra un artículo por $60 y lo vende por $75. ¿Cuál es el porcentaje de margen de beneficio?
- Calcula el beneficio: Precio de venta - Precio de coste = $75 - $60 = $15
- Divide el beneficio por el precio de coste: $15 / $60
- Convierte a porcentaje: ($15 / $60) x 100
- Calcula: 0.25 x 100 = 25%
Respuesta: 25%
