1385.10 * .08 = 110.81 sales tax
1385.10 - 110.81 = 1274.29

1274.29 * .25 = 318.57
1274.29 + 318.57 = 1592.86

1592.86 * .10 = 159.29
1592.86 + 159.29 = 1752.15

1752.15 * .05 = 87.61
1752.15 + 87.61 = 1839.76 before discounts and tax

That would be my guess

assuming sales tax is calculated after the discounts are taken, then;
$1385.10 less sales tax = $1274.292
$1274.292 plus 5% = $1338.0066
$1338.0066 plus 10% = $1471.80726
$1471.80726 plus 25% = $2207.71089

Original price: $2207.71

Assuming the tax is paid on the amount charged ( and not the prediscount price, which sometimes happens ), the price paid is:
(1.08) X ( .75) (.90) (.95) = 1385.10; X = 2000
