7.1% subtract the final price by the original price to find the increase and then divide the increase by the original price.
Explanation:
Find the increase
3.75−3.50=.25
Then divide the increase by the original amount
.253.50=.0714285
To change to a percent multiply by 100 and round off to significant numbers
# .0714285 = 7. 14285% or 7.1% or just 7%
Answer:
yes since it grows at a constant rate at 7.5 feet/5 days so it should be proportional if you treat it as an algebraic equation and solve for the rate of 1 day's growth but that gives an assumption that no factors would affect the growth and it'll always grow at that exact rate

1. Multiply 36/10*10/10 because the denominator needs to be 100 (because %= 100)
example: 36/10*10/10=360/100
2. now you have your answer :D
Hope this helps!
