Answer 2

Here's what we know:

Last year, Savannah had 40 blooms

This year she has 15% more

Remember:

To move 15 into a percent, we move the decimal over to the left two spaces. Since there is no decimal point, we place it at the end and add zero. :)

15= 15.0

Move the decimal to the left two spaces= 0.15

15% =0.15

Now, we will determine 15% of 40

40 multiplied by 0.15

40(0.15)=6

So this year, Savannah has 6 more than last year.
