Sagot :

Answer:

It grew by 500% meaning it grew on average 83.333% per week

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent growth you divide the end weight by the starting weight:

[tex]7.5/1.5=5[/tex]

However, that is the percentage in decimal form. To convert that number to a percentage move the decimal place to the right 2 places. This results in 500%

To get the average weekly growth weight, simply divide the 500% by the amount of weeks (6). This then gives the 83.333% per week.
