You want to find out what your new puppy weighs. While holding the puppy, you weigh 102 pounds on a scale. Your weight without the puppy is 83 pounds. How much does your puppy weigh?
To find out how much the puppy weighs, you need to subtract your weight without the puppy from your weight while holding the puppy.
Weight of the puppy = Weight with the puppy - Weight without the puppy
Weight of the puppy = 102 pounds - 83 pounds
Weight of the puppy = 19 pounds
Therefore, the puppy weighs 19 pounds.
To find out how much your puppy weighs, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the difference in your weight with and without the puppy: 102 pounds - 83 pounds = 19 pounds.
2. Since this weight difference is the weight of both you and the puppy together, you need to determine the puppy's weight alone.
3. Therefore, subtract your weight from the total weight difference: 19 pounds - 83 pounds = -64 pounds.
4. The negative weight indicates that the puppy weighs 64 pounds.
So, your new puppy weighs approximately 64 pounds.
To determine the weight of your new puppy, you can follow these steps:
1. Calculate your additional weight caused by holding the puppy: Subtract your weight without the puppy from your weight while holding the puppy.
Additional weight = Weight with puppy - Weight without puppy
In this case, your additional weight is:
Additional weight = 102 pounds - 83 pounds = 19 pounds
2. Since the additional weight is due to holding the puppy, the additional weight corresponds to your puppy's weight. Therefore, your puppy weighs 19 pounds.
So, your new puppy weighs 19 pounds.
