The total weight was 10.65

Explanation: Since there is only one number in the hundredth place, i didn’t need to add. Instead i put that number as my hundredth place AKA 5. then i added the tenth place which was 5+7+4 which = 16. i carried the one over. then i added the ones place. 4+2+3= 9. the one i carried over got added to the 9. therefore my final answer was 10.65
