Question

The gestation period of horses (336 days)—- percent longer than the gestation period of cats (62 days). I need to find the percentage change.

Answer 1

We have been asked to find percentage change of the gestation period of horses and cats.

First of all we will find difference between our two numbers.

`\text{Difference}=336-62=274`

Now we will find percentage of our difference with respect to gestation period of cats.

`\text{Percentage change}=(274)/(62) \cdot100`

`\text{Percentage change}=4.41935 \cdot100=441.935\appox442`

Therefore, gestation period of horses is 442% longer than the gestation period of cats.
