Abiscuit recipe calls for 2 pounds of all purpose flour and .75 pound of butter, what would be the baker’s percentage for butter if the recipe were converted to a formula with all purpose flour as the main ingredient?

You can see my previous answer is this link link.

There, I show the answer taking into account that it is requested to state the percentage of butter in therms of the main ingredient, which is all purpouse flour.

This the the same answer.

37.5%

Explanation:

Percentage is defined as parts of an amount  in 100 parts of a basis. This must be stated mathamatically for better understanding and for calculations. It is the ratio:

             % = (parts / base) × 100.

In this case you need to express the amount of butter as a part in 100 parts of all purpose flour, which, using the above definition, is:

        % butter = (0.75 pounds of butter / 2 pound of flour) × 100

         % butter = 0.75 × 100 / 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5

The answer is expressed as 37.5%.
