Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find out how much each backpack weighs.  For the singular unit you do 27/3 which equals 9.  Then it says he gives someone 2 of his books and puts 3 in his locker.  That means 5 books are coming out of the bag.  9-5 would equal 4.  Then you would times each of the books by 3.  That would be 4x3 to get 12.
