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
