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
