Miguel's insurance company will replace his car if repairs cost 80% of the cars value. The recently sustained $8000 worth of damage, but it was not replaced. What was the value of the car?
--------------------
Let the value of the car be "x".
--------
EQUATION:
8000 < 0.80x
x > 8000/0.80
x > $10,000
