Explanation:

a- for 15 biscuits:

sugar=60g

for 60 biscuits, she will need:

sugar=240, as she would make 15 biscuits 4 times to get a total of 60 biscuits

the amount of flour must be 3×sugar used

so amount of flour she needs is 720g

b i- she needs a total of 480g butter as butter is 2× of sugar used

ii- since she buys in 250g packs, she would have to buy 2 packs

20 g will be left after she finishes making the biscuits
