Answer:

divide by 1.06

Explanation:

Going form 106 we have to go down to get to 100 so we will divide by something.

106/ x = 100, multiply by x to solve the equation

106 = 100 x, divide by 100 to find x

106/100 = x

1.06 = x

To go from 106 to 100 we have to divide 106 by 1.06 .

Check the answer:

106/1.06 = 100 ✅

PS:

We can also multiply 106 by ( 1/1.06) and will get 100 because (1/1.06) is a number between 0 and 1 and will make 106 smaller until will get to 100.
