Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So a young tree measured 20 inches tall and after two years it reached 26 inches. What is the percent increase increase in the tree's height after two years? Remember that we were looking for percentage increase? So let's look at the formula for that. We have that The final minus the initial height measurements divided by the initial times 100 is going to yield the percent growth. Let's input the values given in the problem. Hello. We can solve this problem. So the final height is 26 - the initial height which is 20 divided by 20 times 100. If we perform these calculations, we're going to obtain the final height of the tree or increased by a total of 30% and this is going to be represented by answer choice c. That is the final answer to our problem and I really hope this helped you.
