Question

Last month, when Joe took his puppy to the veterinarian, the puppy weighed 6.7 pounds. This month, the puppy weighed 9.38 pounds. What is the percentage increase of the weight of the puppy?

Answer 1

The percent increase is: 35.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage increase is given by:

$Percent\ increase=\frac{Increase}{Initial\ value}*100$

Where

$Increase=New\ quantity-old\ quantity$

Given

Initial weight of puppy = 6.7 pounds

New weight of puppy = 9.38 pounds

Increase = New weight of Puppy - Initial weight of puppy

=9.38-6.7 =2.68

Now,

$Percent\ increase\ in\ weight=\frac{Increase}{Initial\ weight}*100\\=\frac{2.38}{6.7}*100\\=0.355*100\\=35.5\%$

The percent increase is: 35.5%
