Answer 1

I can’t see the picture you mention. Could you upload it or describe what the scale or balance shows (numbers on a digital readout, which rider positions and values on a triple‑beam, or which standard weights are on the other pan)?

How to get the answer once I have that information:
- If it’s a digital scale: simply read the number displayed (that is the mass in grams).
- If it’s a balance with standard masses on the other pan: add the values of the standard masses to get the jar’s mass.
- If it’s a triple‑beam balance: add the three rider values (hundreds, tens, ones) shown on the beams.

Send the image or the readings and I’ll give the exact choice.
