A bamboo plant grows at a rate of $105 \mathrm{~cm}$ per day. On May $1 \mathrm{st}$ at noon it was $2 \mathrm{~m}$ tall. Approximately how tall, in metres, was it on May 8th at noon?
(A) 10.40
(B) 8.30
(C) 3.05
(D) 7.35
(E) 9.35
Since the bamboo plant grows at a rate of $105 \mathrm{~cm}$ per day and there are 7 days from May 1st and May 8 th, then it grows $7 \times 105=735 \mathrm{~cm}$ in this time period.

Since $735 \mathrm{~cm}=7.35 \mathrm{~m}$, then the height of the plant on May 8th is $2+7.35=9.35 \mathrm{~m}$.

ANSWER: (E)
