15 feet to 33 feet

Identify the percent of change as an increase or a decrease.

In this problem we have that

15 ft ------> represent 100%

Find out the difference (33-15=18 ft)

so

Applying proportion

Find out how much percentage reprrsent the difference of 18 ft

100/15=x/18

solve for x

x=(100/15)*18

x=120%

therefore

the answer is 120% (percentage of increase)
