![]() We handle the rest of the problem the exact same way as problem 3. Now that we know that each box holds 1.5 grams, we can calculate the total dough we can make.ġ.5 grams per box * 179 boxes = 268.5 grams of dough If milk fit into 20 of the boxes, how much does each box hold?ģ0 grams of milk / 20 boxes = 1.5 grams per box What we do know is that we have 30 g of milk. How much does each box hold? Well, we’re not sure yet. ![]() Just like last time, we’re going to start by looking at the total percentages.Īgain, let’s think about this abysmal percentage as 179 little boxes that fit our ball of dough. You only have 30g of Milk left in your fridge How much dough can you make with the following restricted ingredients? How much of each ingredient would you use?Ī. Plug the flour weight into the box below and solve:Ĭheck the math by adding up all the weights to ensure that they add up to 1050.Ĭlose enough when you account for rounding! 4. Or simply divide the total dough mass by the total percentages to find out the flour mass: Solve for the total flour by multiplying the 100 total flour boxes by the 4.77 grams per box:ġ00 boxes of flour * 4.77 grams per box = 477 grams of Total flour If you want, you can add up all the weights as the end to check your math.Ģ23 + 116 + 107 + 384 + 9 + 62 = 900 g of doughĪdd up all the ingredient percentages to find the total number of “boxes”:ĭivide the total dough mass by the number of boxes to find out how much mass each box holds:ġ050 grams of dough / 220 boxes = 4.77 grams per box Now all we have to do is plug 446 g of flour into the chart to solve the rest. Or to simplify, if we know the total amount of dough we want and have the total percentage, divide the total dough mass by the total percentages to find out the flour mass: If the total flour fits in 100 of those boxes, we know that there are 446 g of flour:ġ00 boxes * 4.46 grams per box = 446 grams of total flour That means each box holds 4.46 g:ĩ00 g of dough / 202 boxes = 4.46 grams per box Here, 900 g of dough fit into 202 little boxes. I find 202% to be a really weird way to think, so I like to think of each percentage point as a little box that holds the same weight as the 201 other boxes. We have other ingredients that also make up the “total percentage,” so let’s see what the sum of all the ingredient percentages are: I think that the easiest way to tackle this problem is to start by figuring out how much total flour we’ll need. ![]() In this problem, we’re given the total amount of dough, not the total amount of flour. How much of each ingredient would you use to make: Simple add them together to find the total flour mass.Ģ85 g White flour + 32 g Whole wheat flour = 317 g Total flourģ.
