given that:- Kenny's backpack weighs 27 pounds = 9 books (each weigh the same amount)
when he gets to school he gives chelsea = 2 books , puts 3 away in his locker
Kenny's backpack weigh now=?
2+3=5 books are took out from the bag now 9-5=4 books are left in his bag
if 27 pounds weight of 9 books then 1 book weight=> 27/9= 3 pounds
so now, he left with 4 books only then total weight is 3*4=12 pounds
it means, Kenny's backpack weigh now= 12 pounds .
