Answer:

$4100

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.
