Pablo planted sunflowers in the community garden. During his last visit to the garden, the plants were 70 inches tall. Today they are 77 inches tall. What is the percent of increase in hight of the sunflowers

Respuesta :

There is 10% increase in the height of plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Height during last visit = Old value = 70 inches

Height of plants today = New value = 77 inches

Change = New Value - Old Value

Change = 77 - 70 = +7 inches

The positive sign indicates the increase.

Percent increase = [tex]\frac{Change}{Old\ value}*100[/tex]

Percent increase = [tex]\frac{7}{70}*100 = \frac{700}{70}[/tex]

Percent increase = 10%

There is 10% increase in the height of plants.
