Solution

Sure, here are the steps to calculate the percentage increase in the kitten's weight:

  1. First, find the difference in weight. Subtract the initial weight from the final weight. In this case, 3.6 kg - 2.5 kg = 1.1 kg. This is the amount of weight the kitten has gained.

  2. Next, to find the percentage increase, divide the weight gain by the initial weight. So, 1.1 kg ÷ 2.5 kg = 0.44.

  3. Finally, to convert this number into a percentage, multiply by 100. So, 0.44 x 100 = 44%.

Therefore, the kitten's weight increased by 44%.
