Answer:

The backpack weighs 21 pounds with all the markers in it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they bring 32 markers and each marker is 9 ounces, the weight of all the markers is 288. We know 288 ounces is 18 pounds, so we add 18 to 3. So the backpack weighs 21 pounds with all the markers in it.
