Question

N 1846 the depth of the river was 5 feet deep. In 1847 it dropped to 3.2 feet. This year, 1848, it rose to 6.6 feet. Find the percent change in river depth

Answer 1

Answer:

40.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Initial depth= 5feet

Final depth= 5-3.2+6.6= 8.4feet

Hence the percent change

% change= FInal-initial/final*100

% change= 8.4-5/8.4*100

% change= 3.4/8.4*100

% change= 0.404*100

% change=40.4%

Hence the percent change is 40.4%
