Sally's teacher tells her to find the masses of a sugar cube and a glass of water. Sally finds the masses to be 10 g for the sugar cube and 100 g for the glass of water. Then, the teacher tells her to put the sugar cube into the water. Sally puts the cube into the glass of water and watches as it dissolves. Then, the teacher tells Sally to estimate the new mass of the glass of sugar-water.

What should Sally guess as the new mass of the glass of sugar-water?
