Solution

To calculate the profit percentage, you first need to determine the amount of profit you made.

Step 1: Calculate the profit amount Profit = Selling price - Cost price Profit = Rs 60 - Rs 50 Profit = Rs 10

Step 2: Calculate the profit percentage Profit % = (Profit / Cost price) * 100 Profit % = (10 / 50) * 100 Profit % = 20%

So, the profit percentage is 20%.
