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 300 grams. What is the percent increase since the first visit in the kitten's weight rounded to the nearest percent?

Vocaloid · Answer

the kitten starts at 550 g and gains 350 grams on the second visit, and 300 grams more on the third visit. therefore, to find the total weight on the third visit, simply add 550 + 530 + 300g.

to calculate the % increase, the formula would be (final weight - initial weight) / (initial weight) * 100%
