We have,

Introduce variable
such that 
The sum
is therefore 
So,
(sadia's age)
(father's age)
Hope this helps :)

now, if we take 2000 to be the 100%, what is 2200? well, 2200 is just 100% + 10%, namely 110%, and if we change that percent format to a decimal, we simply divide it by 100, thus
.
so, 1.1 is the decimal number we multiply a term to get the next term, namely 1.1 is the common ratio.

Answer: Eva's dog actually gained 3/8 pounds ( 0.375pounds)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Given that
old weight = 1 7/8 pounds
New weight = 2 1/4 pounds
weight gained = New weight - Old weight
Step 2
weight gained = New weight - Old weight
2 1/4 pounds - 1 7/8 pounds
2.25 pounds - 1.875 pounds
0.375pounds = 3/8 pounds
