Question

Mia's hair was 17 inches long. Two years later it was 30 inches long.

What was the percent increase, to the nearest hundredth, of Mia's hair length? Enter the answer in the box.

Answer 1

0.76

Explanation:

the formula for percentage increase is

c= x2-x1/x1

x2 ( the new value) = 30

x1 (original value)=17

replace the numbers into the formula:

30-17/17

0.764

nearest hundredth is 0.76.

hope this helped :)
