1. **Problem:** Find the percentage profit on the following items.
2. **Formula for percentage profit:**
$$\text{Percentage Profit} = \left(\frac{\text{Selling Price} - \text{Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}\right) \times 100$$
3. **Important rule:** Profit occurs when the selling price is greater than the cost price.
4. **Calculations:**
- a. Watch: Cost price = 50, Selling price = 65
$$\text{Profit} = 65 - 50 = 15$$
$$\text{Percentage Profit} = \left(\frac{15}{50}\right) \times 100 = 30\%$$
- b. Phone: Cost price = 300, Selling price = 360
$$\text{Profit} = 360 - 300 = 60$$
$$\text{Percentage Profit} = \left(\frac{60}{300}\right) \times 100 = 20\%$$
- c. Tablet: Cost price = 500, Selling price = 600
$$\text{Profit} = 600 - 500 = 100$$
$$\text{Percentage Profit} = \left(\frac{100}{500}\right) \times 100 = 20\%$$
- d. Necklace: Cost price = 400, Selling price = 460
$$\text{Profit} = 460 - 400 = 60$$
$$\text{Percentage Profit} = \left(\frac{60}{400}\right) \times 100 = 15\%$$
5. **Final answers:**
- Watch: 30%
- Phone: 20%
- Tablet: 20%
- Necklace: 15%
