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?(1 point)
To find the percent increase in weight, we can use the formula:
Percent Increase = [(New weight - Old weight) / Old weight] * 100
Plugging in the values, we have:
Percent Increase = [(117 - 90) / 90] * 100
Percent Increase = (27 / 90) * 100
Percent Increase = 0.3 * 100
Percent Increase = 30%
Therefore, the dog is 30% heavier now.
