Answer:

increase%=10.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

The initial height of Hugo was 56 inches, and his new height is 62 inches. This means he increased his height by 62 - 56 = 6 inches.

Now we find the percent of increase. Assuming the initial height as a reference, the change in height will be compared to the initial height as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle increase\ \%=\frac{6}{56}*100\%[/tex]

increase%=10.7%
