Trader J or anyone with an answer

I would like to know how this trade would work.

I buy 100 shares @ 10. Two weeks later I buy 100 more @ 20. I then sell 100 shares @ 15. My question is which shares did I sell?

Is it FIFO (first in, first out so its the 10) or is it LIFO ( last in, first out so its 20). This is a very important question when figuring the profit or loss. One way the sale is a profit while the other is a loss. TIA
