Final answer:

To find out the total amount of salt in the bowl after additional salt is added, one must add the initial mass of salt to the additional mass, resulting in the bowl containing 95.66 grams of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question involves a simple addition problem in which they have a bowl with an initial mass of salt and more salt is added to it. To find out the total amount of salt in the bowl after Pablo pours more in, we need to add the initial mass of salt to the additional mass.

We start with 19.6 grams of salt in the bowl. When Pablo adds another 76.06 grams, the total amount of salt in the bowl becomes the sum of these two amounts.

Using addition:

  • 19.6 grams + 76.06 grams = 95.66 grams

So, the bowl contains now a total of 95.66 grams of salt.
