Answer:

30 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a much easier way to do this involving percentages, but I hate percentages so here is my way.

The adult weight will be 100% and the puppy is currently around 30%. If you multiply 30% by 3, you get 90% which is almost 100%.

So I multiplied 9 by 3 to get 27 lbs.

Now I need to get the remaining 10%. 9 lbs is 30%, soto get to 10%, I divide 30% by 3. I divided the 9 lbs by 3 to get 3 lbs.

Add the two numbers together: 27+3=30 lbs
