Answer:

B = 12800 grams or 12kg 800 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two puppies be A and B respectively.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

A + B = 22kg 300g

A = 9kg 500g

Conversion;

1 Kilograms = 1000 grams.

9kg 500g = 9*1000 + 500 = 9500 grams

22kg 300g = 22*1000 + 300 = 22300 g

Substituting into the above formula, we have;

9500 + B = 22300

B = 22300 - 9500

B = 12800 grams or 12kg 800 grams
