Answer:

[tex]\%Increase = 118\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Initial\ Weight = 550g[/tex]

[tex]First\ Addition = 350g[/tex]

[tex]Second\ Addition = 300g[/tex]

Required

Determine the percentage increment

First, we have to calculate the new weight

[tex]New\ Weight = Initial\ Weight + First\ Addition + Second\ Addition[/tex]

[tex]New\ Weight = 550g + 350g + 300g[/tex]

[tex]New\ Weight = 1200[/tex]

The percentage increment is then calculated as:

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{New\ Weight - Initial\ Weight}{Initial\ Weight} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{1200g - 550g}{550g} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{650g}{550g} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = \frac{650}{550} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = 1.182* 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = 118.2\%[/tex]

[tex]\%Increase = 118\%[/tex] -- Approximated

Hence, the percentage increment is approximately 118%
