Alicia is making cupcakes for a party she is having and wants to make sure everyone gets at least one cupcake. The recipe calls for 1 of a teaspoon of salt for every batch and each batch makes 21 cupcakes. If 2 alicia is having a party with 84 people attending, how many teaspoons of salt will alicia use?
Therefore you need 4 batches of cupcakes if you want every person to get one cupcake.
This means you multiply the amount of salt per batch by the number of batches, to get the total amount of salt you need.
Each batch contains 1 teaspoon of salt for 21 cupcakes. Multiply: [tex]4\text{ batches of cupcakes}\times1\text{ teaspoon of salt}=4\text{ teaspoons salt}[/tex] for the whole thing.
