    For this case we have the following situation:

    Initial capital: $50

    Sale for $60: Then he made a profit of $10. ($60 - $50 = $10)

    Initial capital 2: $60 + $10 (Invest additional $10)

    Sale for $ 80: Then he made a profit of $ 10. ($80 - $70 = $10)

    Thus, it can be seen that during the transactions he obtained a profit of $10 + $10 = $20

    Answer:

    Option B

    Earned $20
