Answer:

Savanna had 6 more iris blooms this year

Explanation:

We are given that:

Last year, she had 40 iris blooms

This year, she has 15% more iris blooms than last year

This means that:

This year she has = (40 + 15% of 40) iris blooms

This year she has = 40 + 0.15(40)

This year she has = 40 + 6 = 46 iris blooms

Now, we get the increase in the number of blooms:

Increase = amount she has this year - amount she had last year

Increase = 46 - 40 = 6 iris blooms

Hope this helps :)
