Question

A rabbit weighs 2.8 kg.

After being shot its weight
is increased by 1%.
How much does it
weigh now?

Answer 1

The rabbit now weighs 2.828 kg.

Explanation:

First we have to do 2.8 ÷ 100 to see how much 1% of the rabbit weighs.

2.8 ÷ 100 = 0.028 kg

1% of 2.8 is 0.028! Now we have to add 0.028 to 2.8 to get our answer!

2.8 + 0.028 = 2.828 kg

The rabbit now weighs 2.828 kg.
