Question

The average daily growth of a seedling is 4% per day. A seedling measuring 3 cm in height is planted.

What is the height of the seedling at the end of day 1?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.12 cm

Current height is 3cm
Increase by 4% daily
3 x 0.04 = 0.12
So it increased by 0.12cm after the first day.
3 + 0.12 = 3.12cm
