The cost price of the table is $40.

<h3>What is Gain ?</h3>

Gain is the amount gain by selling the product at a higher price than its cost.

Let the cost of the table is $ x

The percentage gain is x%  (as given in the question)

Cost price = ?

It is known that

Step 1 : Gain = ( selling Price - Cost Price) * 100 / Cost Price

Selling price = 56

Cost Price = $ x

Therefore substituting the value

x = (56 - x) * 100 / x

x² = 5600 - 100x

x² +100x -5600 = 0

Step 2 : Factorizing

x² + 140x - 40 x -5600 = 0

x( x+14 ) -40( x +14) = 0

( x - 40)(x +14) = 0

x = $40

Therefore the cost price of the table is $40.

Calculate and multiply to get
-4/(-6)+7 - 2x(-2)/-1x3+7
Next remove parentheses and calculate,
You'll get -4/-6+7 - 2x(-2)/4
Then calculate and reduce,
-4/1 - -2/2
Reduce and divide to get -4-(-1)
Remove parentheses, -4+1
And calculate to get your final answer
