Let x be the original cost for the sofa.
X x (1 + 0.07) =3210
X = 3000
Now we know the cost for the sofa.
Let p be the profit percent.
3000 x (1 + p) = 3360
P = 0.12
So the percentage profit is 12%
Answer:
The number is -6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Variable x = a number
Set up an equation:
3x + 12 = -6
Isolate variable x:
3x = -18
x = -6
Check your work:
3(-6) + 12 = -6
-18 + 12 = -6
-6 = -6
Correct!

First, convert the distance of a typical marathon to kilometers.
1 mi = 1.609 km
26.2 miles = 42.165 km
Divide this distance by Allan's average speed to get his average time.
42.165 km / 12 km/hr = 3.514 hours
