Answer 2

Given :

Initial height ,
`h_i = 60\ inches`.

Final height ,
`h_f = 105\ inches`.

To Find :

Percentage increase in height of the tree.

Solution :

Percentage increase is given by :

`\%=(h_f-h_i)/(h_i)* 100\\\\\%=(105-60)/(60)* 100\\\\\%=75\%`

Therefore, % increase is 75%.

Hence, this is the required solution.
