<h3>Answer:</h3>

150 lbs (read the explanation—expecially the last part)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

"Currently" means "now." The question asks how much Josh can bench press "now" after telling you he can "currently" bench press 150 lbs. The answer to the question asked is 150 lbs.

_____

<em>Answer to the question </em><em>not asked</em>

Each month, the amount is multiplied by 1.1, so at the end of 3 months, the amount is multiplied by 1.1 × 1.1 × 1.1 = 1.1³ = 1.331. Multiplying 150 lbs by this amount gives ...

... 150 lbs × 1.331 = 199.65 lbs . . . . . about 200 lbs
