Since his height increased from 5'2" to 5'7" this an increase of 5 inches from 62" to 67". We divide the increase by the starting height, or 5/62 to get 0.081 (rounding up). To express this in percents, move the decimal pt. over twice to get 8.1%. So John's rate of height increase was 8.1% over the past year.
