Respuesta :

we have that

3 inches -------> represents 100% (original value)

Applying proportion

Find out how much percentage represents the difference (7-3)=4 in

100/3=x/4

solve for x

x=(100/3)*4

x=133.33%

therefore

the percent of the change was 133.33%

Is a percent increase, because the final value is greater than the original value
