Convert the kg into g. Multiply the 0.747kg by 1000g/1kg.

$0.747\operatorname{kg}\cdot\frac{1000g}{1\operatorname{kg}}=747g$

To obtain the weight of the baby meerkat, equate the weight of the baby meerkat to the difference of the weight of the adult meerkat and 747 g.

$\begin{gathered} b=a-747 \\ b=776-747 \\ b=29 \end{gathered}$

Thus, the baby meerkat weighs 29 grams.
