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%

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

D. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we simply plug -9 in for x in f(x):

f(x)=\frac{1}{3} x^2+5  ⇒  f(9)=\frac{1}{3} *(9^2)+5=\frac{1}{3} *81+5=27+5=32

Thus, the answer is D. 32.

Hope this helps!
