Hey there! The answer is $40000

A car was sold at $34000. That price was 85℅ of the orginal price.
When we know 85% of the original price we can find 1% of this price by dividing by 85.

1% of the original price = $34000 / 85 = $400
When we know 1% of the original price we can find 100% of this price by multiplying by 100.

100% of the original price = original price = $400 * 100 = $40000
The answer is $40000

~ Hope this helps you!
