Answer:

81 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First find what 12.5% of 72 pounds is, so you can add that number to 72 pounds to find the ideal weight.

12.5% of 72 can be calculated by multiplying 72 by [tex]\frac{12.5}{100}[/tex].

That is: [tex]72*\frac{12.5}{100} =\frac{900}{100} =9[/tex] pounds.

So the dog's ideal weight is 72 plus 9 = 81 pounds
