 Multiply $8500 by 0.95 (which reflects that 5% discount):

0.95($8500) = $8075 (discounted price of car)

Count the discount first
Transform percent of discount into actual price. Multiply percent by total cost
discount = 5% × 8,500
discount = 0.05 × 8,500
discount = 425

Calculate the cost after getting a discount
final cost = 8,500 - 425
final cost = 8,075
The final cost for the car is $8,075
