Question

a tree was 62 inches tall. Three years later, it was 101 inches tall. What was the percent increase, to the nearest hundredth, of the growth of the tree?

Answer 1

63% increase.

Explanation:

You don't really need to do anything because it's probably a 63% increase as 101 is close to 100 already. If you'd like:

`(101-62)/(62) *100=`

`(39)/(62) *100=`

`62.903225806451612903225806451613`≈

63%
