The rate of change is given as 10 per day--the number of cans the class plans to bring each day.

After 10 days at that rate, the change will be 10*10 = 100. Since the total after 10 days is 205, we compute the initial value as 205 - 100 = 105. This is the number the teacher already had.

cans = 10*days + 105
