100% – 15% = 85%
8000 / 85 = 94.18
94.18 * 100 = 9418
the car was originally $9418

The original price would = x, you are taking away 15% from the whole price to =8000. So the equation would look like 1*x-.15*x=$8000. Which simplifies to .85*x = $8000. Then solve for x. Which if you don’t know how to do this, you divide the .85 into 8000, and you will have the original price of the car.

let X be the original price, then
X – 0.15 X = 8000
0.85 X = 8000
X = 8000/0.85 = 9411.8
