Final answer:

Billy's weight increased by 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase in Billy's weight, we need to calculate the difference between his weights and express it as a percentage of his initial weight.

The difference in Billy's weight = 90kg - 75kg = 15kg

The percentage increase = (15kg / 75kg) x 100% = 20%
