use the information to answer the question. an ivy plant was 24 inches long. four years later it was 52 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: Find the amount of increase
$52 - 24=28$
## Step2: Use the percent - increase formula
Percent increase=$\frac{\text{amount of increase}}{\text{original amount}}\times100\%$. The original amount is 24 and the amount of increase is 28. So, $\frac{28}{24}\times100\%=\frac{2800}{24}\% \approx 116.67\%$
# Answer:
$116.67$
