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.

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):
