Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost price be x

loss = 7%

selling price = x - (7/100*x)

so,

x-(7/100*x) + 104 = x + ( 19/100*x)

(100x-7x+10400)/100 = (100x+19x)/100

100(93x+10400) = 100(119x)     {both the hundreds would be cancelled}

93x + 10400 = 119x

10400 = 119x-93x

10400 = 26x

x = 10400/26

x = 400

hence the cost price of the toy is $400
