Short Answer: D

Solution

Difference in weight = 8.68 - 6.2 = 2.48 pounds

%increase = x

6.2 * x/100 = 2.48                         Divide by 6.2 on both sides

(6.2 * x /100) ÷ 6.2 = 2.48 / 6.2    Simplify the left. Divide the right.

x / 100 = 0.4                                  Multiply both sides by 100

100 * x / 100 = 0.4 * 100                Combine

x = 40 %

Answer

The Puppy went up 40% in weight.

D because 6.2=100
6.2×1.4=8.68
so 100×1.4=140
140-100=40
so it's 40%
