Question

A girl weight increased by 12% between her tenth and four teen birthdays . If she weighed 45kg on her tenth birthday. What did she weigh on her fourteenth birthday

Answer 1

Ok so the first thing you are going to do is chang the percentage into a decimal. 12 percent would change into 0.12, because in order to change a percentage into a decimal you move the decimal two places to the left. Next you would multiply 0.12 by 45 which gives you 5.4. But we are not done yet. By multiplying 0.12 x 45 we find how much weight she has gained. So our next and final step should be add 5.4 to 45 which gives us 50.4. Therefore your answer should be 50.4kg
