decrease?

Respuesta :

Answer:

150%

It is a percentage increase

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by calculating the percentage increase

Mathematically, we have this as;

Percentage increase = (new value - old value)/old value * 100%

New value = new height = 60 inches

old value = old height = 24 inches

Substituting these values, we have ;

(60-24)/24 * 100%

= 36/24 * 100%

= 1.5 * 100% = 150%

It is a percentage increase as we can see growth
