Question

On the first visit to the veterinarians office chorus kitten weighed 550 g on the second visit the kitten had ganged 350 g on the third visit the kitten had gained 300 g what is the percent increase since the first visit in the kittens wait rounded to the nearest percent

Answer 1

Answer:

$\%Increase = 118\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial\ Weight = 550g$

$First\ Addition = 350g$

$Second\ Addition = 300g$

Required

Determine the percentage increment

First, we have to calculate the new weight

$New\ Weight = Initial\ Weight + First\ Addition + Second\ Addition$

$New\ Weight = 550g + 350g + 300g$

$New\ Weight = 1200$

The percentage increment is then calculated as:

$\%Increase = \frac{New\ Weight - Initial\ Weight}{Initial\ Weight} * 100\%$

$\%Increase = \frac{1200g - 550g}{550g} * 100\%$

$\%Increase = \frac{650g}{550g} * 100\%$

$\%Increase = \frac{650}{550} * 100\%$

$\%Increase = 1.182* 100\%$

$\%Increase = 118.2\%$

$\%Increase = 118\%$ -- Approximated

Hence, the percentage increment is approximately 118%
