Given:
Initial weight of kitten = 110g
Present weight of kitten = 550g
To find:
The percentage increase in its mass.
Solution:
To get the percentage increase in its mass, we need to find the percentage increase in its weight.
[tex]\%Increase=\dfrac{\text{Present value - Initial value}}{\text{Initial value}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%Increase=\dfrac{550-110}{110}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%Increase=\dfrac{440}{110}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%Increase=4\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%Increase=400[/tex]
Therefore, the percentage increase in kitten's mass is 400%.
