When finding the percent difference between two numbers, there are two ways you can do this.

1. The first way is how to calculate the percentage INCREASE of two numbers:

-The formula is Increase / Original Number × 100 = % increase

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. New number - Original number = Increase.

Step 2: Divide the increase by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. (If your answer is a negative number, then it is a percent decrease, not a percent increase.)

2. The second way is how to calculate the percentage DECREASE of two numbers:

Step 1: Find out the difference between the two numbers you're comparing. Original number - New number = Decrease.

Step 2: Divide the decrease by the original number and then multiply your answer by 100. Decrease ÷ Original Number × 100 = % Decrease. (If your answer is a negative number, then is is a percent increase, not a percent decrease.)

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

$4100

Step-by-step explanation:

For Kaisha to get this car we have these information available

Amount saved = $1300

The cost of the car = $5400

Let The amount left to complete the car = k

We have this equation

K + $1300 = $5400

K = 5400 - 1300

K = 4100

Therefore Kaisha still needs to earn an additional amount of $4100 for the total amount of the car to be completed.
