Question

Luther's pet Doberman puppy is growing super fast: its weight increases by 3% every week. If it weighs 15 lb. this week, how much will it weigh next week?

A. 15.45 lb.
B. 15.90 lb.
C. 16.10 lb.
D. 16.35 lb.

Answer 1

Luther's Doberman puppy will weigh 15.45 lb. next week.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Luther's pet Doberman puppy's weight increases by 3% every week and it weighs 15 lb. this week, we can calculate its weight next week by multiplying its current weight by 1 plus the percentage increase (1 + 0.03). So next week, the puppy will weigh 15 lb. x 1.03 = 15.45 lb. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
