an ivy plant was 11 inches long. two years later it was 18 inches long. what was the percent increase, to the nearest hundredth, of the length of the ivy? enter the answer in the box. percent
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate the increase in length
$18 - 11=7$ (inches)
## Step2: Use the percent - increase formula
Percent increase = $\frac{\text{increase}}{\text{original}}\times100\%$. Here, the original length is 11 inches and the increase is 7 inches. So, percent increase = $\frac{7}{11}\times100\%$.
$\frac{7}{11}\times100=\frac{700}{11}\approx63.64\%$
# Answer:
$63.64$
