x=572*10/13
x=44*10
x=440

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost prize is Rs 440

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the selling price of chair which is rs 572

By selling a chair for rs 572 a man gains 30% we have to find the cost price of chair.

Let the cost price of chair is x

Profit=30%

As

$C.P=\frac{100}{100+Gain\%}\times S.P\\\\\x=\frac{100}{100+30}\times 572\\\\x=\frac{100}{130}\times 572=440\\\text}{Hence, the cost prize of chair is Rs 440}$
