Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding water at a rate of 26 liters per minute. There are 300 liters in the pond to start. Let W represent the total amount of water in the pond (in liters), and let T represent the total number of minutes that water has been added. Write an equation relating W to T. Then use this equation to find the total amount of water after 19 minutes.

    1. The correct answer is W = 300 + 26 (T)

    2. The correct answer is 794 liters in the pond after 19 minutes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's summarize all the information given:

    Liters in the pond to start = 300

    Rate of adding water = 26 liters per minute

    W = Total amount of water in the pond (in liters)

    T = Total number of minutes that water has been added.

    Total amount of water in the pond = 300 + 26 (T)

    W = 300 + 26 (T)

    2. Let's calculate the total amount of water in liters after adding more during 19 minutes

    W = 300 + 26 (T)

    W = 300 + 26 (19)

    W = 300 + 494

    W = 794 liters
