To find out how many inches taller Tonya is than Mary, you can use the following equation:

\[
\text{Difference in height} = \text{Tonya's height} - \text{Mary's height}
\]

Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Difference in height} = 68 \, \text{inches} - 65.3 \, \text{inches}
\]

Now, let's calculate it:

\[
68 - 65.3 = 2.7
\]

Thus, Tonya is 2.7 inches taller than Mary.
