Question

Cindy is growing plants for a science project. During the project, one plant grows from a height of 7 cm to 10.85 cm. What is the percent increase in the height of the plant?

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage increase in the height is 55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Cindy is growing plants for a science project. During the project Cindy found that one plant grows from 7 cm to 10.85 cm.

We have calculate percent increase in the height of the plant.

We know formula to calculate the percentage is

% Increase in the height = Net increase in the height×100/Initial length of the plant

                                         = $\frac{(10.85-7)100}{7}= \frac{(3.85)(100)}{7}=\frac{385}{7}= 55%$

Therefore % increase in the height of the plant is 55%.
