Last month, when Joe took his puppy to the veterinarian, the puppy weighed 6.6 pounds. This month, the puppy weighed 10.56 pounds. What is the percentage increase of the weight of the puppy?

Answer 1

The decimal 3.96 equals 396%

To convert from decimal to percent, just multiply the decimal value by 100. In this example we have: 3.96 × 100 = 396% (answer). The ease way:

1) Move the decimal point two places to the right: 3.96 → 39.6 → 396.

2) Add a % sign: 396%
