Answer 2

Answer: x = 3

=======================================

Work Shown:

12% = 12/100 = 0.12

x + 12% of x = x + 0.12x = 1.12x = 3.36

1.12x = 3.36

x = 3.36/1.12

x = 3

---------------

Check:

12% of 3 = 0.12*3 = 0.36

x + 12% of x = 3 + 12% of 3 = 3 + 0.36 = 3.36

Or you could say 1.12x = 1.12*3 = 3.36

The answer is confirmed.
