When Ricardo was 9 years old, he was 56 inches tall. Ricardo is now 12 years old and he is 62 inches tall. Find the percent of increase in Ricardo's height. Round the percent to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Explanation:
The formula for calculating the percent change in a value between two points in time is:
p
=
N
−
O
O
⋅
100
Where:
p
is the percent change - what we are solving for in this problem.
N
is the New Value - 62 inches in this problem.
O
is the Old Value - 56 inches in this problem.
Substituting and solving for
p
gives:
p
=
62
−
56
56
⋅
100
p
=
6
56
⋅
100
p
=
600
56
p
=
10.7
rounded to the nearest tenth.
Ricardo gres 10.7%
