Question

Kevin planted ome corn in the back yard and meaure it height regularly. Currently, the talk are 75 inche tall. That i 25% taller than the lat time he checked. How tall were the talk then?

Answer 1

The height of the tree was 56 inches.

We can calculate the percentage of a certain amount by :

Subtracting  New - Original / New multiplied by 100

this implies it will be

75 - x / 75 × 100 = 25 %

7500 - 100 x = 1875

this implies 7500 - 1875 = 100 x

5625 = 100 x

Thus , On dividing both sides by 100 we get

56.25 = x

Now on rounding off this number we will get

56 = x

Thus the original height of the corn plant was 56 inches
