Question

initial value: 10, weight (oz) of empty jar
rate of change: 5, weight (oz) per cup of granola
which equation describes the total weight of the gift?
total weight = weight of granola + weight of jar
total weight = weight of granola × weight of jar
total weight = weight of granola - weight of jar
total weight = weight of granola ÷ weight of jar
total weight (oz)
amount of granola (cups)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand total weight components

Total weight combines the fixed weight of the empty jar and the variable weight of the granola added.

Step2: Match to the equation

The initial value (10 oz) is the jar's weight, and each cup of granola adds 5 oz. So total weight equals the jar's weight plus the granola's weight.

Answer:

total weight = weight of jar + weight of granola
