Density = 8.345 lb/gallon (this is an odd density, because density changes depending on temperature, and this number is actually for 40°F water, but that's not relevant to this question)


Density (d) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)

d = m/V

m = Vd


m = (1 gallon ) ( 8.345 lbs / gallon ) = 8.345 lbsThe water (without the salt) weighs 8.345 lbs


If you add 3 lbs of salt, you are just adding 3 lbs of salt. Just add 3 to the weight. This part is just to trip you up.

8.345 + 3 = 11.345 lbs


The water with the salt weighs 11.345 lbs.
