Nene tripled a cookie recipe for a party. the original recipe called for 5.25 cups of sugar. nene tripled the sugar amount and poured it into a mixing bowl. the mixing bowl got knocked over and 4.46 cups of sugar spilled. how many cups of sugar were left in the mixing bowl?

The total cups of sugar needed for recipe=5.25 cups
After Nene tripled, the new amount will be:
New amount=3×(old amount)
=3×5.25
=15.75 cups
Given that when the bowl got knocked down, 4.46 cups was spilled, the amount that was left in the bowl was:
amount left=(new amount)-(amount spilled)
=15.75-4.46
=11.29 cups
