83660.00*1.06=88679.60
You multiply the decreased cost by 1 (to maintain the original cost) point zero-six (the percentage increase, the six in the the hundredths place because the tenths place is reserved for every ten percent). Your total is therefore $88,679.60. You can also verify this answer through the equation 88679.60*0.94, which would verify that $83,660.00 really is six percent less than $88,679.60. You can use these procedures to solve any other similar questions.
I hope this helped!

if the decreased price is 83,660 that means that it is 94% of the original cost. all u need to do is find out how much 6% is and add it. all u need to do is 83,660/94 which gives u how much 1% is then mutiply it by 100 to get the origanil cost

X over .06 =83,660.
Given real estate prices here, that's an old book.

89000.
89000 x .06% = 5340
89000 - 5340 = 83660.
