Backpack Weigh-in

5 backpacks weighing 19.5 lb, 18.05 lb, 19.8 lb, 19.35 lb, and 18.9 lb.
Will, Kierra, Emma, Savannah, and Connor have weighed their backpacks.
  • Will's backpack weighs the most.
  • Emma's backpack weighs 0.45 lb less than Kierra's backpack.
  • Savannah's lunch weighs 1.5 lb. With that lunch out of the backpack, the backpack weighs 16.55 lb.
  • Connor's backpack weighs more than Emma's.
How much does each person's backpack weigh?
(lb stands for pounds - use kg instead)

Your solution is due to Ms. Earl on Monday. Be sure to show your math work and your thinking.
