Question

Katie just measured her dog and found out it weighs 29 kilograms. The last time she measured, the dog weighed 20 kilograms. What percent heavier is the dog now?

Answer 1

From the given question

The current wait of the dog is 29 kg and the previous weight of the dog is 20 kg

Now,

In th current weight, 9 kg increase from the previous weight

So,

For the value of percentage:

`\begin{gathered} p=\frac{\text{Previous increase weight}}{\text{New wait}}*100 \\ p=(9)/(20)*100 \\ p=45 \end{gathered}`

Hence the value of the percentage is 45%.
