Answer :
Answer: The percent increase in the amount of food that the bear eats each week.= 9.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The zoo increases the amount of food that the bear eats each week from 105 pounds to 115 pounds.
i.e. Previous amount of food = 105 pounds
New amount of food = 115 pounds.
Increase in amount of food = (New amount of food )- (Previous amount of food)
= (115 pounds) - (105 pounds)
= 10 pounds
Now, the percent increase in the amount of food that the bear eats each week.= [tex]\dfrac{\text{Increased amount}}{\text{Previous amount}}\times100[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{10}{105}\times100=9.52380952381\%\approx9.5\%[/tex]
Hence, the percent increase in the amount of food that the bear eats each week.= 9.5%
