Respuesta :
A puppy weighed 1500 grams when it was born. Its weight increased by 28% during the first month. The puppy's weight at the end of the first month will be 1920 grams.
How to find how much percent 'a' is of 'b'?
Suppose a number is 'a'
Suppose another number is 'b'
We want to know how much percent of 'b' is 'a'.
Then, it is calculated as:
[tex]\dfrac{a}{b} \times 100[/tex]
(in percentage)
A puppy weighed 1500 grams when it was born.
Its weight increased by 28% during the first month.
28% of 1500
= 0.28 x 100
= 420.
so add it to 1500
1500 + 420
= 1920
Therefore, the puppy's weight at the end of the first month will be 1920 grams.
