Write the formula
Ratio (%) = (Current Price ÷ Original Price) × 100%
Substitute the values
Ratio (%) = (540.77 ÷ 8.51) × 100%
Divide
540.77 ÷ 8.51 = 63.5452
Multiply by 100
63.5452 × 100 = 6354.52%
Step 5: Round to the nearest percent
=6355%
Answer: 6355%

Find the loan amount
Car price = $20,000
Down payment = $4,500
Loan amount = 20,000 - 4,500 = 15,500
Total payments for the loan
Monthly payment = $318.61
Number of months = 72
Total payments = 318.61 × 72 = 22,919.92 22,920
Total amount paid for the car
Total paid = Down payment + Total loan payments
Total paid = 4,500 + 22,920 = 27,420
Extra amount paid over car price
Extra paid = 27,420 - 20,000 = 7,420
Answer: $7,440
