Answer:

35.42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

C. 35.42%

Step-by-step explanation:

65 - 48 = 17

Since he grew 17 inches, you must figure out what percentage 17 is of 48.

17/48 = 1/100 (represents decimal)

Cross multiply: 17 ⋅ 100 = 1700 and 48 ⋅ 1 = 48

Divide: 1700/ 48

= 35.41666666666667

Round to the nearest hundredth:

= 35.42
