TRUNK AND TAILS

bella the dog weighs 72 pounds. that's ABOUT 8628 pounds less than tarra weighs. how much does tarra weigh?

i think the answer is 8530.

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.
