An art gallery is increasing the asking price of its sculptures by 30%. a sculpture now costs $520.00. how much was the sculpture before the increase?

Let cost of the sculpture before increase was $x.

Cost increases by 30%

so new cost = x + (30% of x) = x+0.30x = 1.30x

Given that cost after increase is $520 so both will be equal and we get:

1.30x=520

x=520/1.30

x=400

So the final answer is $400.

The art gallery is increasing the asking price of its sculptures by 30%.

Sculpture now costs $520.00

Let the initial price was $x

Then we can write

Hence the initial Price was $400/-

not only in mathematics, scientific proof also are required in the other field of science. also maths proofs are of particular structure, containing steps and logics. so proving is like doing science, it is science. that's why it is important to prove. 

an inaccurate proof leads to errors, or stating results that are not accurate.  which wil mess the probelm up you dont want this
