Question

Sami’s puppy went form weighting 21 pounds to 37 pounds. What is the percent increase in weight?

Answer 1

76% increase (approximately)

Explanation:

21 lbs ➜ 37 lbs.

To calculate percentage increase, you must first find the difference of the final value and the starting value.

`37-21=16`

Second, take the difference and divide it from the starting value.

`16/21\\=0.76` (approximately)

Lastly, take the quotient and multiply it by 100.

`0.76 *100\\=76`

Therefore, there was a 76% increase in weight.
