Hi, Kara!
From the previous question you got the equation
W=12.5T+340
so now you know the weight when filled w/sugar is 740g
so replace W with 740.
Now you can solve for T
740=12.5T+340
Let me know if you need help solving the equation.

Hey Kara, is this question a follow up to another question with some data in it (such as the weight of the empty bowl and the weight of one tablespoon of sugar)? Perhaps?09/17/20
