Answer:

14 cups of m&m's to make 84 cookies

Explanation:

If it takes 2 cups of m&m's to make 12 cookies. then you need to see how many times the original recipe will go into 84. Seeing that 84/12=7 you would need to multiply the original recipe by 7.

For example:

84/12=7 This is how many times the recipe is multiplied if you make 84 cookies.

2x7 is the amount of m&m's you would need to make the larger batch of cookies.
