Question

When sprayed with gibberllins, the diameter of mature grapes increased from 1.0cm to 1.75cm. What was the percent increase in size

Answer 1

Answer: 75%

Explanation:

1. You know that the diameter of mature grapes increased from 1.0 centimeters to 1.75 centimeters.

2. Then, to calculate the percent increase in size, you can apply the following formula:

`\%increase=((new\ amount-original\ amount)/(original\ amount))*100\\\\new\ amount=1.75cm\\original\ amount=1.0cm`

3. Therefore, when you substitute the values shown above into the equation. Then, you obtain that the percent increase in size is:

`\%increase=((1.75cm-1.0cm)/(1.0cm))*100`

`\%increase=75\%`
