A recipe calls for 2 tsp of butter. Melinda wants to make 40% more servings than the recipe makes.
Which expression represents how many teaspoons of butter Melinda should use?
A. 0.6 . 2
Melinda wants to make 40% MORE. Since one serving is 100 %, after adding to it 40% more it is 140%: 100% + 40% = 140% 140% = 140/100 = 1.4 Since 1.4 is for 1 tsp, for 2 tsp it will be: 1.4 · 2
