Original weight =90 g
Increased weight = 90* 15% =90*15/100 = 13.5g
New weight = Original weight + Increased weight
= 90+13.5=103.5g
Answer; 103.5g

weight of bag = 90 grams

According to Question ,

weight of the bag increases by 15%

therefore ,

the new weight of bag ,


\frac{\cancel{15}}{\cancel{10}\cancel0} * 9\cancel0 \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: (3)/(2) * 9 \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: (27)/(2) \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: 13.5

so ,

new weight = 90 + 13.5 kg

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎= 103.5 kg
