How much did Alaranthus weigh?

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?




Puzzle Answer





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.
