Amy: 1, 1*1.25, 1*1.25*1.20
Joe: 1, 1*1.20, 1*1.20*1.25
clearly, both had the same mass after month 2
1.20*1.25 = 1.50, which is not 1.45
Two mandrills, Amy and Joe, were
born at the zoo. Each mandrill had a
birth mass of 1 kg. After Month 1,
Amy’s mass was 25% greater than her
birth mass. After Month 2, Amy’s mass
was 20% greater than her mass after
Month 1. After Month 1, Joe’s mass
was 20% greater than his birth mass.
After Month 2, Joe’s mass was 25%
greater than his mass after Month 1.
a) Which mandrill had the greater
mass after Month 2? Explain.
b) Could you have found Amy’s mass
after Month 2 by finding 145% of
her birth mass? Justify your answer.
