Given : Selling price of an article = 2373.

Given : Gain = 13%.

We know that cost price of the article : [100 / (100 + Gain%)] * SP

⇒ [100/ (100 + 13)] * 2373

⇒ [100/ 113] * 2373

⇒ 2100.

Therefore, the cost price of the article = 2100.

Hope this helps!

We have,

Selling price of an article = Rs 2373
Gain = 13%
