Three African Elephants had an average weight of 9,062 pounds. How much do the three elephants weigh in all?
Do I divide the 9062 by three too get the weight for each elephants?

\(\displaystyle Average = \frac{Total\;Weight}{Count}\)

You have "Average" and "Count". Use your best algebra to solve for "Total Weight".
