Question

The cost of an item is 100% of its price. what number goes in place of ? in the addition problem?

Answer 1

The answer is 100 thats all you have to put trust me.

Answer 2

This works as by dividing 7.95 by the percentage multiplier 1.06 it will give you the original amount.

An alternative method is to find out what 100% (7.95) is, then divide by 10 to find 10% and then divide by 10 again to find 1% and then multiply the 1% by 6 and subtracting the answer from 7.95.
