Let's get to the bottom of this:
Without the Earth, the Moon would rotate around the Sun, no question. Without the Sun, the Moon would rotate around the Earth. Since they are both present, the Moon has a coincidental rotation around both of them, with the Earth being the major gravitational partner.

ehhh, your wernt too far off man. "Centripetal Force" describes only the direction of the force. Centripetal means 'towards the center' or 'seeking the center' so the direction of the force is towards the center, or towards the sun.
But the actual force is gravity.

If you really wanna be technical, the actual force is the mass times the gravity. 
Sorry for that brief moment of nerdism.
