    11.25 lbs, if I calculated this correctly.

    75lbs of food = 15% tiger's food weight

    ? lbs tiger = 100% tiger's body weight

    So you want to take the amount of food (75lbs), divide it by the amount of the tiger's food weight (15%) and then multiply it by it's total body weight (100%)

    So 75 / 15 = 5

    and 5 x 100 = 500

    so the tiger = 500lbs
