Welcome to the classroom, my people, let us take this mathematics very slowly so everyone can follow. To find your percentage gain or loss, you simply take the extra money you made or lost, divide it by the original amount you paid for the shares, and then multiply that final answer by one hundred. Just like checking your profit after selling yams in the market, this simple formula shows you the true size of your progress on our practice platform.
To find your percentage gain or loss, you first subtract the price you originally bought your shares from the current price. Next, divide that answer by your original buying price, just like calculating your profit after selling baskets of tomatoes at the market. Finally, multiply that result by one hundred to get your final percentage.
