Question

You plant a tree that is 36 inches tall. After one year, the tree is 43 inches tall. Which expression describes the percent of increase in the tree's height? 3643×100 43−3643 43−3636×100 43−3643×100

Answer 1

19.4%

Explanation:

Given data

Initial height=36in

Final height= 43in

% increase= Final-initial/initial*100

Substitute

% increase= 43-36/36*100

%increase= 7/36*100

%increase= 0.194*100

%increase= 19.4%

Hence the increase is 19.4%
