If your question is, "how much had Mr. Kork paid for the car?"
(8,400-200)/.4=$20,500
Achristensen's answer is correct. Just want to add a little more explanation how to arrive at the result.
let x be the original price.
Rewrite the verbal question as an equation using x:
8400 = 200 + 2/5 * x
solve for x:
8400-200 = 2/5*x
5/2*8200 = x
x = 20500
The original price was $20,500
