Question

(3) on the first visit to the veterinarian’s office, cora’s kitten weighed 550 grams. on the second visit, the kitten had gained 350 grams. on the third visit, the kitten had gained another 700 grams. what is the percent increase in the kitten’s weight from the first visit to the third visit? round to the nearest percent.

Explanation:

Step1: Find final weight

First weight: $550$ grams. Total gain: $350 + 200 = 550$ grams.
Final weight: $550 + 550 = 1100$ grams

Step2: Calculate weight difference

Difference = Final - Initial
$1100 - 550 = 550$ grams

Step3: Compute percent increase

Percent increase = $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Initial Weight}} \times 100\%$
$\frac{550}{550} \times 100\% = 100\%$

Answer:

$100\%$
