Question

Cindy is growing plants for a science project. During the project, one plant grows from a height of 7 cm to 10.85 cm. What is the percent increase in the height of the plant?

Answer 1

Percentage increase in the height is 55%.

Explanation:

Since Cindy is growing plants for a science project. During the project Cindy found that one plant grows from 7 cm to 10.85 cm.

We have calculate percent increase in the height of the plant.

We know formula to calculate the percentage is

% Increase in the height = Net increase in the height×100/Initial length of the plant

=
`((10.85-7)100)/(7)= ((3.85)(100))/(7)=(385)/(7)= 55%`

Therefore % increase in the height of the plant is 55%.
