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 (victoriasushchik):

Then the puppy gained 233% of its weight. That means the new weight is 100% + 233% = 333% of the original weight.

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

To find the new weight, find 333% of 27 lb. Change 333% into a decimal, 333% = 3.33 Then multiply 3.33 by 27 lb to find your answer.

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

so what are the steps involved?

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

those are the steps hun

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

say it again sorry it's all mixed

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

step one 1st

OpenStudy (mathmale):

An alternative approach would be to convert 333% to a mixed number: M.DD Then multiply "27 pounts" by that. Done.

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

step 1:100% + 233% = 333% step 2: Change 333% into a decimal, 333% = 3.33 step 3: Then multiply 3.33 by 27 lb to find your answer. then what will you get 4 ur answer?

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

89.91 right?

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

OpenStudy (purple_pink):

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

The weight is 89.91 lb, which you can probably round off to 90 lb.
