Given $N$ and $M$ denoting that the Cost Price of N articles is equal to the Selling Price of M articles. The task is to determine the profit or Loss percentage.

Examples:

Input:  N = 8, M = 9
Output: Loss = -11.11%

Input:  N = 8, M = 5
Output: Profit = 60%

Formula:-

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

Python3

# Python 3 implementation of above formula 
  
# Function to calculate Profit or loss 
def profitLoss(N, M): 
    if (N == M): 
        print("No Profit nor Loss") 
    else: 
        result = 0.0
  
        result = float(abs(N - M)) / M 
  
        if (N - M < 0): 
            print("Loss = -",'{0:.6}' .  
                   format(result * 100), "%") 
        else: 
            print("Profit = ",'{0:.6}' .  
                   format(result * 100), "%")
