Answer 2

Answer:

The cost price is Rs 440

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the selling price of chair which is Rs 572 and a man gains 30%

we have to find the cost price of chair.

Selling price, S.P=Rs 572

Gain percentage=30%

By formula

$S.P=C.P[1+\frac{Gain\%}{100}]$  

$572=C.P[1+\frac{30}{100}]$  

$572=C.P\times 1.3$

$C.P=\frac{572}{1.3}=440$

Hence, the cost price is Rs 440
