Respuesta :

Answer:

The cost price of the statue is $ 496

Explanation:

Sale Price  of statue = $ 670

Suppose the cost price is $ 100 then according to the given condition the sales price would be $ 135

Sale Price =  Cost Price + Profit

135=     100 +35

Applying ratios

Sale Price                  Cost Price

$670                                 x

135                                  100

Using cross product rule

x=  $670 * 100/135

x=  $ 496.29
