To calculate how many more iris blooms Savanna had this year compared to last year, we first need to determine the number of additional blooms represented by the 15% increase.
To find the 15% increase of the 40 blooms from last year, we will calculate 15% of 40.
\[ 15\% \text{ of } 40 = \frac{15}{100} \times 40 \]
This gives us:
\[ = \frac{15}{100} \times 40 \]
\[ = \frac{15 \times 40}{100} \]
\[ = \frac{600}{100} \]
\[ = 6 \]
So, Savanna had 6 more iris blooms this year due to the 15% increase.
Savanna had
\[40\] iris blooms last year. This year, she had
\[15\%\] more iris blooms.
