Question

2HT Butter House Bakery is famous for its butterscotch treat bars. The bakers always make a regular batch and a smaller gluten-free batch. To make a regular batch, the bakers use 5 cups of butterscotch chips and 16 cups of regular flour. To make a gluten-free batch, they use 3 cups of butterscotch chips and 8 cups of gluten-free flour. Which batch has a stronger butterscotch flavor?

Answer 1

The gluten-free has stronger flavor of butterscotch

Explanation:

Given

Regular Batch:

5 cups of butterscotch chips and 16 cups of regular flour.

Gluten-free batch

3 cups of butterscotch chips and 8 cups of gluten-free flour.

Required

Which batch has stronger butterscotch flavor

First, we need to determine the percentage of butterscotch in both flavors by using:

`\% = (Butterscotch)/(Total) * 100\%`

For Regular:

`\%= (5)/(5 + 16) * 100\%`

`\%= (5)/(21) * 100\%`

`\%= (500\%)/(21)`

`\%= 23.81\%`

For Gluten-free

`\% = (3)/(3 + 8) * 100\%`

`\% = (3)/(11) * 100\%`

`\% = (300\%)/(11)`

`\% = 27.27\%`

Comparing both,

We can see that the percentage of butterscotch in gluten free batches is greater than that of regular batches

Hence:

The gluten-free has stronger flavor of butterscotch
