Joel just weighed his dog and found out that it weighs 117 kilograms. The last time he weighed the dog he weighed 90 kilograms. What percent heavier is the dog now
To find the percent the dog is now compared to before, we need to find the difference in weight first:
117 kg - 90 kg = 27 kg
Then we need to find what percent of the original weight this difference represents:
(27 kg / 90 kg) * 100 = 30%
Therefore, the dog is now 30% heavier compared to before.
