Question

(c) Rashid has 210g of cocoa powder and plenty of the other ingredients.

He says that he can make at least 75 cupcakes.
Is he correct?
Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

He is incorrect. He would need 225g of cocoa powder

Explanation:

1. Lets calculate how much powder do we need per one cupcake, so 60 divided by 20, since 60g makes 20 cupcakes, 60/20 = we get 3g of cocoa powder per one cupcake.

2. Now we can multiply that by 75, 75*3=225, and 225g is more than 210g
