"at $1.29 million, they closed last month percent above what they paid in 2007." how much did they pay in 2007?

 Amount that they paid in 2007 is 1.01 millions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of millions paid last month = $1.29 millions

According to question, it was 26% above what they paid in 2007.

Let the amount paid in 2007 be x

So, our equation becomes,

Hence, Amount that they paid in 2007 is 1.01 millions.

The amount they paid in 2007 is:

                         $ 1.02381 million

Let the amount paid by them in 2007 be: $ x

Now, it is given that:

"At $1.29 million, they closed last month for...26 percent above what they paid in 2007."

i.e.

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
