Kevser buys 5kg of sweets for £10. She separates the sweets so that there are 250g of sweets in each bag. She sells each bag for 65p. She sells all bags. What is her percentage profit?

1kg = 1000grams 5kg = 5000 grams. 5kg will give 20 bags (5000/250). Total amount she will make from selling is £13. Hence, profit percentage is (13-10)/10*100. Which gives profit percentage since profit is the amount remaining after the cost of buying the sweets is taken out.
