Trees grown in a forest increased from 175000 to 262500 in decade. The average percent increase of growth per year is?
at a growth of r% per year,
1750(1+r/100)^10 = 2625
r = 4.14%
To find the average percent increase of growth per year, we first need to calculate the total percent increase over the course of the decade.
Step 1: Calculate the total increase in the number of trees
Total increase = Final number of trees - Initial number of trees
Total increase = 262500 - 175000
Total increase = 87500
Step 2: Calculate the percent increase
Percent increase = (Total increase / Initial number of trees) * 100
Percent increase = (87500 / 175000) * 100
Percent increase = 50
Step 3: Calculate the average percent increase per year
Average percent increase per year = Percent increase / Number of years
Average percent increase per year = 50 / 10
Average percent increase per year = 5
Therefore, the average percent increase of growth per year is 5%.
