Answer: 11.15%

Explanation:

As per given description :

The dealer's price = $1,595

Blue Book quotation = $1,435

Difference between the dealer's price and the Blue Book = $1,595- $1,435 = $160

Required percentage =
\frac{\text{Difference between dealer's price and Blue book}}{\text{Blue Book}}*100


=(\$160)/(\$1435)*100\\\\=11.149825784\%\\\\\approx11.15\%

Hence, the dealer's price is 11.15% greater from the Blue Book.
