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.

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)
