Question

After a year of weight training, Harold's weight changed from 172 pounds to 185 pounds. What is his percent increase in weight to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

70.2%

Explanation:

Given data

Initial weight =172 pounds

Final weight = 185 pounds

% increase= Final - Initial / final *100

% increase=185 - 172 / 185 *100

% increase= 13 / 185 *100

% increase=0.0702*100

% increase=70.2%

Hence the increase is 70.2%
