Savanna had
\[40\] iris blooms last year. This year, she had
\[15\%\] more iris blooms.
How many more iris blooms did Savanna have this year?
To calculate how many more iris blooms Savanna had this year compared to last year, we first need to determine the number of additional blooms represented by the 15% increase.
To find the 15% increase of the 40 blooms from last year, we will calculate 15% of 40.
\[ 15\% \text{ of } 40 = \frac{15}{100} \times 40 \]
This gives us:
\[ = \frac{15}{100} \times 40 \]
\[ = \frac{15 \times 40}{100} \]
\[ = \frac{600}{100} \]
\[ = 6 \]
So, Savanna had 6 more iris blooms this year due to the 15% increase.
