    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
