Question

A German shepherd puppy weighed 25 pounds at 4 months old and 31 pounds at 5 months old. What is the percent increase of its weight? (REMEMBER... AMOUNT CHANGE/ORIGINAL AMOUNT)

Answer 1

24%

Explanation:

Percentage change in weight = (new weight - old weight ) / old weight x 100

`(31 - 25)/(25)` =
`(6)/(25)` x 100 = 24%
