Uphill garden

I have a garden uphill, increasing from 0 to 4.5 m for a length of 25 m, how much is the climb in percent?

Result

p =  18 %

Solution:

y=4.5−0=4.5 m x=25 m  p=100⋅ yx=100⋅ 4.525=18=18%y = 4.5 - 0 = 4.5 \ m \ \\ x = 25 \ m \ \\ \ \\ p = 100 \cdot \ \dfrac{ y }{ x } = 100 \cdot \ \dfrac{ 4.5 }{ 25 } = 18 = 18 \%
