Anton bought a picnic cooler. His total bill, with tax, was $7.95. He paid 6 percent sales tax. How much did he pay for the cooler alone without the tax?
For the cost of the cooler, solve:
106% of cost of cooler = $7.95

To find the total bill in terms of the cost of the cooler :
100% of cooler price
+ 6% of cooler price (tax)
--------------------------------------------
106% of cost (7.95)

Now, solve this problem.

106% of $ _______ = $7.95
