OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about something else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A puppy weighed 27 lb. His weight increased by 233% by the time he was 1 year old. How much did the puppy weigh when he was 1 year old?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First, find the value of 233% of 27. Since 2.33 is the same as 233%, we can multiply that to 27. So what is 2.33 x 27?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

62.91

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup. That's your answer.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

`What is the percent decrease from 60 to 39?` You will have to find, by how many percent has number "60" decreased to get "39" (considering that 60 is the 100%) \(\large\color{slate}{ 60-39=21 }\) So 21 is a decrease. Now, 21 is how many percent of 60?
