Savanna had 40 iris blooms last year. This year, she had 15%, percent more iris blooms. How many more iris blooms did Savanna have this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer would be 6 irises bloomed last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the # of flowers bloomed last year

15% =  .15

now just use the equation: quantity = % · whole and plug in the #'s      

                                                                            x  = .15 · 40

which equals to x = 6
