Let's call Jessie's weight "J" in grams.

According to the problem, Buzz is three times as heavy as Jessie, so his weight would be:

B = 3J

We also know that Buzz is 450g heavier than Jessie, so we can set up the equation:

B = J + 450

Now we can substitute the first equation into the second equation:

3J = J + 450

Subtracting J from both sides:

2J = 450

Dividing both sides by 2:

J = 225

So Jessie weighs 225g.

To find out Buzz's weight, we can plug J = 225 into our first equation:

B = 3J = 3(225) = 675

Therefore, Buzz weighs 675g.
675grams
Yes, that's correct! Buzz weighs 675 grams.
