      Finding a percentage is pretty simple.  Divide what you HAVE by what is the whole.  
      For example, a test has 25 questions and you answer 17 correctly.   17/25 = .64 or 64%


      In the scenario you present, you want to know what percent $515.15 (cost) is to the profit of $535.06. Divide $535.06  (what you have earned) / $515.06 (the whole original cost) = 1,0388304275   or 103.88%, which I would round to 104%.

        Profit/loss%=Profit/loss divided by total price into 100 %.


        =535.06 into 100% divided by 515.15


        =103.86... % .


        Now smile and be happy .
