old (first visit): 550 grams
second visit: gained 350 grams
third visit: gained 300 grams
new: cora's kitten is now 1200 grams.
-> now, we must find the percent increase between 550 and 1200.
to find percent increase, we use this equation
new - old / old x 100
-> (1200 - 550 / 550) x 100
(650 / 550) x 100
= 1.18 x 100
<u>percent increase: 118% </u>
<u></u>
✧ hope this helped!

This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
The area of an object is found by multiplying the length by the width, so to solve your problem, multiply 8*4 to get 32.
A and can I be brainliest? :3
