The $5,700 payout by the insurance company
did not exceed 80% of the "blue book" value
because they made the payment
-----------------------------------------
Let +x+ = the blue book value of the car
+5700+%3C=+.8x+
+5700%2F.8+%3C=+x+
+7125+%3C=+x+
The blue book value is greater than or equal to $7,125
