During the summer between tenth grade and eleventh grade, a student experienced a growth spurt and grew from 67 inches to 72 inches. By what percent did the student's height increase?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  about 7.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change is calculated from ...

  pct change = ((new value) - (old value))/(old value) × 100%

  = (72 -67)/72 × 100%

  ≈ .07463 × 100%

  ≈ 7.5%

The student's height increased by about 7.5%.
