Answer:
40.6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The plant's initial height is 7 inches tall.
It grows 1.3 inches each day for 27 days. This means that after 27 days, it must have grown an extra:
1.3 * 27 = 35.1 inches
It must have grown an extra 35.1 inches after 27 days. Therefore, its new height after 27 days is:
7 + 35.1 = 42.1 inches
The plant then begins falling over 0.5 inch for the next 3 days. After 3 days, it must have fallen over by a height:
0.5 * 3 = 1.5 inches
Therefore, after 30 days, the plant's new height is:
42.1 - 1.5 = 40.6 inches
The plant's height after 30 days is 40.6 inches
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we have the expression:

To factor this expression we need to indentify the components that are common in both terms.
At first glance there is nothing in common, but we can notice that 30 and 70 are multiples of 10, that is:

so we can substitute this into the expression:

and now that we have the common term (the number 10) we can factorize it, that is, take out the common term and include a parentheses:

Percent change=change/original times 100
chane=28-23=5
oriiginal=28
percent change=5/28 times 100
0.178 times 100
17.8
about 18% change
