A student grows bean seedlings in soil.
The nitrate ion concentration of the soil solution is 68.0 mg/dm3.
The student adds nitrate solution to the soil. This increases the nitrate ion concentration by 15.0%.
Four students calculate the nitrate ion concentration after the increase.
| Student | Nitrate ion concentration in mg/dm3\text{mg}/\text{dm}^{3}mg/dm3 |
|---|---|
| Amira | 10.2 |
| Ben | 68.15 |
| Cerys | 78.2 |
| Dev | 83.0 |
Which student has calculated the nitrate ion concentration correctly?
Amira
Cerys
Dev
Ben
