25 pounds because 20 pounds is 100% so 10 is 50% and 5mis 25%

To find the weight of the new pet food package, you calculate 25% of the old package weight (which is 5 lbs) and add it to the original weight. This means the new package contains 25 lbs of pet food. ;

The new pet food package weighs 25 pounds after adding 25% to the original 20 pounds. This is calculated by finding 25% of 20 pounds, which is 5 pounds, and then adding this to the original weight. Therefore, the new package size is 25 pounds.
