After a lot of bargaining Masha bought a new car for $34000, and realized that she paid only 85% of the originally listed price. What is the original price of that car?

Original cost of car is $40000

Step-by-step explanation:

Masha bought a new car for $34000.

She paid only 85% of original cost of car.

i. e 85% of original cost of car = $34000

or 85/100 * original cost of car = $34000

or original cost of car = $34000 * 100 / 85

or original cost of car = $40000

Hence the original cost of car is $40000
