Answer: The percent of increase is 60%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the initial height of the vine = 25 inches,

Final height of the vine = 40 inches

Since,

[tex]\text{ The percent increase in the height}=\frac{\text{ Final height-Intial height}}{\text{ Intial height}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{40-25}{25}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{15}{25}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1500}{25}=60\%[/tex]
