Answer:

$2,081.00

Explanation:

You want to know how much more $4,622.00 is than $2,541.00.

How much more

The wording "how much more" usually refers to the difference, the value that results from subtracting the smaller number from the larger one.

Additional comment

The wording "how many times more" usually refers to the ratio, the value that results from dividing the larger number by the smaller one.
