I think it's the opposite -- the way this reads you need to ADD 72 and 8628. What do you get?
To find out how much Tarra weighs, we need to calculate the weight difference between Tarra and Bella. Bella weighs 72 pounds.
To find the weight of Tarra:
Tarra's weight = Bella's weight + Weight difference
Weight difference = Tarra's weight - Bella's weight
Given that Bella weighs 72 pounds and the weight difference is about 8628 pounds less than Tarra's weight, we can set up the equation:
Weight difference = Tarra's weight - 72
Weight difference ≈ 8628
Solving the equation:
Tarra's weight ≈ Weight difference + 72
Tarra's weight ≈ 8628 + 72
Tarra's weight ≈ 8700 pounds
So, the approximate weight of Tarra is 8700 pounds, not 8530 pounds.
