p+0.08p represents the weight of wrestler, in pounds, after gaining weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Weight of wrestler before gaining = p

He gains 8% more weight.

Therefore,

Weight gain = 8% of weight before gaining

Weight gain = [tex]\frac{8}{100}*p[/tex]

Weight gain = 0.08p

Total weight of wrestler = Weight before gaining + Weight gain

Total weight = p+0.08p

p+0.08p represents the weight of wrestler, in pounds, after gaining weight.
