Answer:

Original price of car = $20,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the car be 'x' dollars.

Given:

Here, the depreciation of the car is occuring exponentially as the value depreciates to half in every four years.

Worth of car after 8 years = $5000

Value after depreciation in 4 years = Half of original value = \frac{x}{2}

So, value of car after depreciation in another 4 years = Half of the value after 4 years = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{x}{2})=\frac{x}{4}

Therefore, final depreciated value after 8 years is \frac{x}{4}.

But, as per question, final depreciated value is $5000. Thus,

\frac{x}{4}=5000\\x=5000\times 4\\x=20000

Therefore, the original price of the car was $20,000.
