Colton has two dogs, Einstein and Copernicus. Einstein is a smaller dog and Copernicus is larger. Colton found that Copernicus lost 13 pounds from January to June. If Copernicus gains 1.2 times Einstein's weight,
Copernicus's weight would still be 1 1/4 pound less than he was in January. What is Einstein's weight?
(a) Write an equation that represents the scenario. Begin by defining your variable.
(b) Solve your equation from Part (a) to determine Einstein's weight. You may choose to either work in fractions or decimals. Show all work.
(c) Colton adopts a third dog, Newton. Newton weighs exactly twice what Einstein weighs. The combined weight of the three dogs is 60 1/2 pounds. Determine both Newton's weight and Copernicus's weight.
Show all work.
