Pymm has many dragons. A few years ago, one of these
dragons, Alaranthus, though not fully grown, weighed 1000
pounds plus two-thirds of his own weight. How much did
Alaranthus weigh?
Answer:
3000 pounds.
Alaranthus's weight was such that 1000 pounds was equal
to one-third of his weight. So his total weight in pounds
was 3 x 1000.
