Answer:
25%
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Initial height of sunflower=160 cm
After increasing
Final height of sunflower=2m
We have to find the percentage increase in height.
1 m=100 cm
[tex]2m=2\times 100=200cm[/tex]
Increase in height of sunflower=Final height of sunflower-initial height of sunflower
Increase in height of sunflower=200-160=40cm
Percentage increase=[tex]\frac{Increase\;value}{Initial\;value}\times 100[/tex]
Using the formula
Percentage increase in height=[tex]\frac{40}{160}\times 100[/tex]
Percentage increase in height=25%
