Answer:
Percentage increase in the height is 55%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since Cindy is growing plants for a science project. During the project Cindy found that one plant grows from 7 cm to 10.85 cm.
We have calculate percent increase in the height of the plant.
We know formula to calculate the percentage is
% Increase in the height = Net increase in the height×100/Initial length of the plant
= [tex]\frac{(10.85-7)100}{7}= \frac{(3.85)(100)}{7}=\frac{385}{7}= 55%[/tex]
Therefore % increase in the height of the plant is 55%.
