Question

ronda used a container with 54.8 grams of flour to help her bake donuts. after using as much flour as her recipe called for, the container still had 6.9 grams of flour left. how many grams of flour did her recipe call for?

Explanation:

Step1: Define total and remaining flour

Let total flour $T = 54.8$ g, remaining flour $R = 6.9$ g.

Step2: Calculate used flour (recipe amount)

Used flour = Total - Remaining
$\text{Recipe amount} = 54.8 - 6.9$
$\text{Recipe amount} = 47.9$

Answer:

47.9 grams
