We are asked to find the proportion of sugar to number of cookies
Sugar = 200g
Number of cookies = 48
proportion of sugar to cookies = 200 : 48
how many cookies he can make with 350 grams of sugar?
let x = number of cookies
proportion of sugar to cookies = 350 : x
equate the proportions
200 : 48 = 350 : x
200/48 = 350/x
cross product
200 × x = 350 × 48
200x = 16800
x = 16800/200
x = 84 cookies
find the number of cookies, y, Ezra can make with x grams of sugar?
y = grams of sugar, x / number of cookies
y = 350/84
y = 4.17x
Therefore,
Ezra can make 84 cookies with 350 grams of sugar
