Question

In January, a puppy weighed 4kg.

Three months later, the same puppy weighed 5kg.
What was the percentage increase in the puppy’s weight

Answer 1

25% increase

Explanation:

To find percentage increase or decrease, use this equation:

{ [ ( Final ) - ( Initial ) ] / ( Initial ) } * 100

In this problem, 4 is the initial weight and 5 is the final weight. Now, let's plug these values into the problem to solve for percentage increase in the puppy's weight.

[ ( 5 - 4 ) / 4 ] * 100

[ 1 / 4 ] * 100

25%

So, the puppy's weight increased by 25% in three months.
