Question

Last year, Ivy's pant measured 12 inches. This year, her plant is 75% taller.

How many inches did her plant grow?

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

Divide 12 by 4 to get 25% = 3

25% x 3 = 75%

3 x 3 = 9

75% of 12 is 9 and the initial plant growth was 12 inches.

So, the plant grew 9 more inches since last year.

The plant is now 21 inches.
