Question

Calebs puppy weighs 2250 grams. If the puppy weighed 600 grams at his last visit to the vet, what is the percent increase in the puppies weight

Answer 1

275%

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial weight of the puppy = 600 grams

Final weight of the puppy = 2250 gram

We need to find the percent increase in the puppy's weight.

Increase in weight = 2250 gram - 600 grams

= 1650 grams

The percentage of increase in weight,

`\%=(1650)/(600)* 100\\\\=275\%`

So, the required increase in puppy's weight is equal to 275%.
