Answer:

Erin's office will have recycled a total of 10 kg of paper in 9 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

First write out the formula for the total weight of paper recycled, and then solve this equation for time:

AmtRecycled(t) =  1 kg + (1 kg/wk)(t)

In this problem, AmtRecycled(t) = 10 kg, and so the following is true:

    10 kg              = 1 kg + (1 kg/wk)(t)

Then    9 kg = (1 kg/wk)(t)

and so:

   9 kg

------------- = 9 wk

1 kg/wk

Erin's office will have recycled a total of 10 kg of paper in 9 weeks.
