Recipe for 15 cupcakes

12 ounces butter

10 ounces sugar

8 ounces flour

5 eggs

Process

Rule of three

12 ounces of butter ------------------- 15 cupcakes

x -------------------- 9 cupcakes

x = (9 x 12) / 15

x = 7.2 ounces of butter

10 ounces of sugar ------------------- 15 cupcakes

x ------------------- 9 cupcakes

x = (9 x 10) / 15

x = 90 / 15

x = 6 ounces of sugar

8 ounces of flour ------------------- 15 cupcakes

x ------------------- 9 cupcakes

x = (9 x 8) / 15

x = 4.8 ounces of flour

5 eggs ------------------- 15 cupcakes

x ------------------- 9 cupcakes

x = (9 x 5)/ 15

x = 45/15

x = 3 eggs
