Answer 2

Answer:

The kitten has gained a 218% more weight since the first visit to the vet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get the percentage the kitten has gained you have to add all the weight together and divide the first visit by the total weight.

TO find the total weight is found by adding all the weights together:

550 + 350 + 300 = 1200

now we divide 1200 by 550 to get a decimal which allows us to find the percentage:

1200 / 550 = 2.18181818182

now we multiply 0.45833333333 by 100 to turn the decimal to a percentage:

2.18181818182 * 100 = 218.181818182%

Now we round up to the nearest percentage which is:

218.181818182% = 218%
