Answer:

Percentage increase = 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Kitten's weight = 640 grams

Adult's weight = 2918 grams

To find the percentage increase in the kitten's weight;

We will calculate the increase using the formula;

[tex] Increase = original \; number - new \; number [/tex]

Substituting the values, we have;

Increase = 2918 - 640 = 2278

Mathematically, percentage increase is calculated using the following formula;

[tex] Percentage \; increase = \frac{increase}{original \; number} * 100[/tex]

[tex] Percentage \; increase = \frac{2278}{640} * 100[/tex]

[tex] Percentage \; increase = 3.56 * 100[/tex]

Percentage increase = 35.5 ≈ 36%
