You can put this solution on YOUR website! From a base elevation of 7200 ft, a mountain peak in Colorado rises to a summit elevation of 14598 ft over a horizontal distance of 15848 ft find the grade of the peak.
;
Find the height of the peak above the base of the mountain
14598 - 7200 = 7398 ft
:
Percent grade = rise/run * 100
: * 100 = 46.68% grade
