Question

The tree grew from 32 ft to 45 ft in the span of ten years.

Find the percent change to the nearest whole percent

Answer 1

40.63% to the nearest whole percent is 41

Explanation:

(45 - 32) / 32) * 100 = 40.63 %

To round 40.63 to the nearest whole number consider the tenths’ value of 40.63, which is 6 and equal to or more than 5. Therefore, we have to round up: the whole number part of 40.63, 40, increases by 1 to 41, and the decimal point and all digits (.63) are removed...

40.63 rounded to the nearest whole number = 41
