Respuesta :
The height of the tomato plant 2 weeks after it was planted is 11. 25 inches
How to determine the height
From the information given, we have that;
- The height of the tomato plant is 5 inches
- It grows by 50%
In first week, it will be;
= 5 + 50% of 5 inches
= 5 + 50/ 100 × 5
= 5 + (0. 5 × 5)
= 5 + 7. 5
= 7. 5 inches
In the second week,
= 7. 5 + 50% of 7. 5
= 7. 5 + ( 0. 5 × 7. 5)
= 7. 5 + 3. 75
= 11. 25 inches
Thus, the height of the tomato plant 2 weeks after it was planted is 11. 25 inches
