You plant a tree that is 36 inches tall. After one year, the tree is 43 inches tall.

Write an expression which describes the percent of increase in the tree's height.

h o ​ ( h f ​ − h o ​ ) ​ ∗ 100
36 ( 43 − 36 ) ​ ∗ 100
36 7 ​ ∗ 100
0.1944 ∗ 100
19.44
19.44% increase

36 - 100% 43 - x % we multiply by cross -> 36 * x = 100 / 43
we should remove '100%' from new value, because we find only increase.. no new value in percent.
x + 100 = (43 * 100)/36
x = 4300/36 - 100 x = 119+ 16/36 -100 x = 19 +4/9

The percent increase in the tree's height after one year is approximately 19.44%. This is calculated using the formula for percent increase. By finding the difference in height and dividing by the original height, we can determine the percentage growth.
