Answer:
Pippin is heavier after 2 years
Step-by-step explanation:
the weight of Pippin the cat after 1 year=
10+10*10/100
10+1=11 kg
at the second year,
11+11*20/100
11+2.5=13.5 kg
the weight of Felix the cat after 1 year
10+10*15/100
10+1.5=11.5 kg
next year,
it's weight increase by15%
11.5+11.5*15/100=
11.5+1.725=13.252 kg
hence we conclude that Pippin the cat is heavier compared to Felix the cat
