Answer:

The hair grow at the end of year (17.22 cm - 16.8 cm) = 0.42 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question as:

The height of hair of Janelle's at the beginning of school = 16.8 cm

The length of hair increased by 2.5%

Let the length of hair after increment = x

So, x = 16.8 cm + 2.5 % of 16.8 cm

Or, x = 16.8 cm × ( 1 + $\frac{2.5}{100}$ )

Or, x = 16.8 cm × ( $\frac{102.5}{100}$

∴ x = 17.22 cm
