Answer:

The percentage increase in the puppy's weight is 75%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the percentage increase using the following formula:

[tex]\boxed{\% \space\ \mathrm {increase = \frac{final \space\ - \space\ initial}{initial} \times 100}}[/tex].

In this case,

• initial = 2 kg

• final = 3.5 kg

Substituting these values into the formula:

[tex]{\% \space\ \mathrm {increase = \frac{3.5 \space\ - \space\ 2}{2} \times 100}}[/tex]

                ⇒ [tex]\frac{1.5}{2} \times 100[/tex]

                ⇒ [tex]0.75 \times 100[/tex]

                ⇒ 75%
