I may be wrong, it’s happened before but I believe that 95% of $2,000 is the original cost.

If x is the original price of the car, then 1.05x = $2,000.00.

Divide each side by 1.05.

$2000.00/1.05 = x

$1904.761 = x

Note that there isn’t a whole number answer to your question.

I think this is right.
