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.

Answer:
x=3,5
Explanation:
x2−8x+15=0
Try to express the terms of the equation in square form.
Adding 16 both sides of the equation,
(x2−2⋅x⋅4+42)+15=16
or,(x−4)2+15−16=0
or,(x−4)2−1=0
or,(x−4)2−12=0
This is the a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b)form.
(x−4+1)(x−4−1)=0
or,(x−3)(x−5)=0
Now, equate both the terms to zero since both of them when multiplied, give zero.
Either,
x−3=0
∴x=3
Or,
x−5=0
∴x=5
Ans:x=3,5 Hope this helpsXD...!!
Answer: 6.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find both percentage so we can determine the increase.
Finding percentage of $10 return: 1% return
Finding percentage of $78 return: 7.8% return
To find the percent increase we do 7.8%-1.0% = 6.8%
