The weight of the cat reaches from 40 pounds to 55 pounds. Determine the percent change

  1. 20.15%
  2. 56%
  3. 37.5%
  4. 45%

The correct answer is: 37.5%


    STEP BY STEP SOLUTION
    Old weight of cat = 40 pound
    New weight of cat = 55 pound
    increased weight = new weight - old weight
    increased weight = 55 - 40 = 15 pound
    increased % =fraction numerator i n c r e a s e d space w e i g h t space over denominator o l d divided by o r i g i n a l space w e i g h t space space end fraction cross times space 100
    increased % = 15 over 40 cross times 100 equals 0.375 cross times 100 equals 37.5 straight percent sign
    Hence, the weight of cat has increased by 37.5%
