Achristensen's answer is correct. Just want to add a little more explanation how to arrive at the result.

let x be the original price.

Rewrite the verbal question as an equation using x:

8400 = 200 + 2/5 * x

solve for x:

8400-200 = 2/5*x

5/2*8200 = x

x = 20500

The original price was $20,500
