Owners of a recreation area are filling a small pond with water. They are adding water at a rate of 34 liters per minute. There are 600 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 13 minutes.

Equation:

    You start with 600 liters and are adding 34 liters per minute.

    You need to multiply 34 by the number of minutes (T) and then add that total to the 600 to find the total amount of water (W)

    The equation would be W = 34T + 600

    Now replace T with 13 minutes and solve for W:

    W = 34 (13) + 600

    W = 442 + 600

    W = 1,042 total liters.
