    To solve this problem, let us say that

    x = the cost of the car alone

    y = the cost of the accessories

    We know that the total selling price wass 24,000 therefore:

    x + y = 24,000 - - - > 1

    Furthermore, we know that the cost of car is 8 times the cost of the accessories, so:

    x = 8 y - - - > 2

    Combining equations 1 and 2:

    8 y + y = 24000

    9y = 24000

    y = 2666.67

    Solving for x using equation 2:

    x = 8 (2666.67)

    x = 21,333.33

    Therefore the accessories cost about 2,666.67
