Answer:
Hence, cost price of computer is:

Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that:
The selling price of a computer is: $ 995.
Also the computer was marked up 35% above the cost price.
let the cost price of computer be x.
i..e the selling price of the computer is 135% of x
this implies that
\(995= \dfrac{135}{100}\times x \\\\x= \dfrac{100}{135}\times 995\\ \\x=737.037\)
Hence, cost price of computer is:
$ 737.037.
