In the spring a young maple is 18 feet tall. over the summer it grows 8%. how
tall is the maple at the end of the summer? do not include units in your
answer.

At end of summer, the Maple is 19.44 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find 8% of 18 feet and add it to 18 to get the new height.

To get percentage to decimal, we need to divide by 100. Hence

8/100 = 0.08

8% of 18 is:

18 * 0.08 = 1.44 feet

Now, we need to add this to 18 feet. We have:

18 + 1.44 = 19.44 feet

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
