Probably around 37-38#. Usually you can use 2 1/2# per inch but that can vary bow to bow and depending on your draw curve on your bow.

I draw that length and usually find about 9 pounds lower on a bow marked at 28".  So I would guess 36#.

On a bow that's pretty light to begin with, you're only going to lose 2 -2 1/2# per inch of draw.  I agree with ks, about 38#.

I would say 5% per inch. That equalls 6.75 lbs. So you are probably around the 38 lbs.
