volume = πr^2 h = 112π

area = 2πr^2 + 2πrh = 88π
hemisphere:
volume = 2/3 πr^3 = 16π/3
area = 4πr^2 = 16π
so the remaining candle has
volume = 112π - 16π/3
original volume minus the hemisphere
area = πr^2 + 2πrh + 2πr^2 + (16π-4π)
that is, the original bottom + lateral + (top - hole)
Is this true?

all you have to do is verify the formulas given, and see whether they were correctly applied.

oh, and do some thinking about the problem ...

where do you get stuck?
area = 4πr^2 = 16π
the radius of the hemisphere is 2, so 4πr^3 = 4*π*2^2 = 16π

But I do see a typo in the last formula:
area = πr^2 + 2πrh + 2πr^2 + (16π-4π)
There is an extra 2πr^2 in there (probably a copy/paste issue). It should be just
πr^2 + 2πrh + (16π-4π)
= 16π + 56π + 12π = 84π
