Answer: The price of Molly's previous car was $1676.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Molly traded in her previous car, which was Buick in good condition.

The dealer offered her 80% of the listed traded- in value for her car, giving her a total of $1340.80.

Let the price of Molly's previous car be 'x'.

According to question,

$\frac{80}{100}\times x=\$1340.80\\\\x=\frac{100}{80}\times 1340.80\\\\x=\$1676$

Hence, the price of Molly's previous car was $1676.
