# Climb in percentage

The height difference between points A and B is 475 m. Calculate the percentage of route climbing if the horizontal distance places A, B is 7.4 km.

Result

p =  6.42 %

#### Solution:

$y = 475 \ m \ \\ x = 7.4 \ km = 7.4 \cdot \ 1000 \ m = 7400 \ m \ \\ \ \\ p = 100 \cdot \ \dfrac{ y }{ x } = 100 \cdot \ \dfrac{ 475 }{ 7400 } = \dfrac{ 475 }{ 74 } \doteq 6.4189 = 6.42 \%$
