A:
Answer:Savanna had 6 more iris blooms this yearExplanation:We are given that:Last year, she had 40 iris bloomsThis year, she has 15% more iris blooms than last yearThis means that:This year she has = (40 + 15% of 40) iris bloomsThis year she has = 40 + 0.15(40) This year she has = 40 + 6 = 46 iris bloomsNow, we get the increase in the number of blooms:Increase = amount she has this year - amount she had last yearIncrease = 46 - 40 = 6 iris bloomsHope this helps :)
