Answer:

C. 35.42%

Step-by-step explanation:

65 - 48 = 17

Since he grew 17 inches, you must figure out what percentage 17 is of 48.

17/48 = 1/100 (represents decimal)

Cross multiply: 17 ⋅ 100 = 1700 and 48 ⋅ 1 = 48

Divide: 1700/ 48

= 35.41666666666667

Round to the nearest hundredth:

= 35.42

$\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\ V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ -----\\ V=108\pi \\ h=4 \end{cases}\implies 108\pi =\cfrac{\pi r^2(4)}{3}\implies 324\pi =4\pi r^2 \\\\\\ \cfrac{324\pi }{4\pi }=r^2\implies 81=r^2\implies \sqrt{81}=r\implies 9=r$
