Lauren's vet commented that her puppy gained 10% in weight since the first visit. Write an expression that could be evaluated to show the puppy's current weight. Use a variable to represent the weight of the puppy at the first visit. Write the expression in simplified form. If the puppy gains another 10% in weight from the current visit to a future visit, how much will the puppy weigh? Write an expression that could be evaluated to show the puppy's future weight. Write the expression in simplified form.

Respuesta :

Answer: expression to show puppy's current weight = x+ 0.1x, simplified form = 1.1x

Expression that for puppy's future weight= 1.1x + 0.1(1.1x), simplified form = 1.21 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Puppy's weight in the first visit.

If it gained 10% in weight from the first visit, then his current weight = (weight in first visit)+10% of (weight in first visit)

= x+ 0.1x

i.e. expression to show puppy's current weight = x+ 0.1x

In simplified form it will be

x+ 0.1x = x(1+0.1)

=x(1.1)

=1.1 x  (simplified form )

If puppy gains another 10% in weight, then its future weight = (current weight)+10% of (current weight)

= 1.1x+10% of 1.1x

= 1.1x + 0.1(1.1x)

Expression that for puppy's future weight= 1.1x + 0.1(1.1x)

= 1.1x(1+0.1)

= 1.1x(1.1)

=(1.1)²x

= 1.21x  (simplified form)
