Question

A papaya tree was planted 2 years ago. It increases at the rate of 20% every year. If at present, the height of the tree is 540 cm, what was its height when the tree was planted?

Answer 1

Answer:

345.6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You find 20% of its current height 540cm which is 108 and take that away from 540cm which is 432cm. You then find 20% of that which is 86.4 and you take that away from 432cm which is 345.6cm
