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

Answer:

63% increase.

Step-by-step 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:

$\frac{101-62}{62} *100=$

$\frac{39}{62} *100=$

$62.903225806451612903225806451613$≈

63%
