Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Previous baby's weight = 18 pounds

New baby's weight = 24 pounds.

Increase in weight = New weight -Previews weight

=24 pounds - 18 pounds =6 pounds

Percentage increase in baby's weight = $=\dfrac{\text{Increase in baby's weight}}{\text{previous weight}}\times100$

$\\\\=\dfrac{6}{24}\times100=25\%$

Hence, the percentage increase in baby's weight = 25%
