    Given:

    15% of its height each day

    27 inches on day 10.

    How tall was it yesterday?

    27 represents 115% of the height yesterday. So we divided 27 by 115% to get yesterdays height.

    27 : 115% = 23.48 inches.

    The plant was 23.48 inches tall yesterday.

    To check:

    23.48 x 15% = 3.52 inches

    23.48 + 3.52 = 27 inches
