A puppy weighs 4.5 pounds at five weeks and 7.5 pounds at eight weeks what was the percentage increase

Sagot :

Answer:

66.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Weight in first five weeks = 4.5 pounds

Weight at eight weeks = 7.5 pounds

We need to find the increase in precentage. The percentage increase in any value is given by :

[tex]\%=\dfrac{\text{final-initial}}{\text{initial}}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{7.5-4.5}{4.5}\times 100\\\\=66.7\%[/tex]

So, the increase in precentage is 66.7%.
