Question

Anne just measured herself and found out she is 40 inches tall. The last time she measured, she was 32 inches tall. What percent taller is Anne now?

Answer 1

the initial height of Anne is 32 inches,

the final height of the Anne is 40 inches,

so, the percentage change is,

`=\frac{\text{ final - initial}}{\text{ initial}}*100`
`=(40-32)/(32)*100`
`\begin{gathered} =(8)/(32)*100 \\ =25\text{ \%} \end{gathered}`

so, Anne is now 25 % taller than before.

thus, the answer is 25 % taller
