so, just count up all of each type, and multiply by their weights.
USA=46gold+29silver+29bronze=104
China=38gold+27silver+23bronze=88
Great Britain=29gold+17silver+19bronze=65

104x88x65=594,880.

i hope this helped.
Add usa weights= 104
Add China's weights= 88
Add great Britain's weights= 65

Then multiply that equals 594,880
