Jim is able to sell a hand-carved statue for $670 which was a 35% profit over his cost. how much did the statue originally cost him? the sales price of a car is $12,590, whic

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

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
