Question

A puppy weighs 4.5 pounds at five weeks and 7.5 pounds at eight weeks what was the percentage increase

Answer 1

66.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight in first five weeks = 4.5 pounds

Weight at eight weeks = 7.5 pounds

We need to find the increase in precentage. The percentage increase in any value is given by :

`\%=\frac{\text{final-initial}}{\text{initial}}* 100\\\\=(7.5-4.5)/(4.5)* 100\\\\=66.7\%`

So, the increase in precentage is 66.7%.
