Question

On the first visit to the veterinarian's office, Cora's kitten weighted 550 grams.

Answer 1

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

 percent increase: 118%

✧ hope this helped!
