Question

A sunflower's height was measured at 42 in the second time the flower was measured its height was 70 in what was the percent change in the height of the sunflower between two measurements increase or decrease amount of change original amount percent

Answer 1

To find the percent change in the height of the sunflower, we can use the formula:

Percent Change = (New Value - Old Value) / Old Value * 100

In this case, the old value (original height) is 42 inches, and the new value (second measurement) is 70 inches.

Percent Change = (70 - 42) / 42 * 100
Percent Change = 28 / 42 * 100
Percent Change = 0.6667 * 100
Percent Change ≈ 66.67%

Therefore, the percent change in the height of the sunflower between the two measurements is approximately a 66.67% increase.
