Imagine you’re running a small bakery and need to calculate how much of each ingredient you’ll require for a big order of cupcakes for an upcoming event. If your recipe requires cups of flour for a batch of 12 cupcakes, you can use algebra to find out how many cups you’ll need for, say, 100 cupcakes. By setting up a proportion, you’ll quickly see that you need approximately cups of flour, along with adjusting sugar and egg quantities the same way. This ensures error-free baking and keeps your customers happy!

On the other hand, let’s say you’re budgeting for your bakery’s expenses. If your total fixed costs are represented by a variable and the cost per cupcake is represented by , you might set up an equation like , where is your revenue and is the number of cupcakes sold. By manipulating this equation, you’d be able to predict your profits and adjust your prices accordingly—making sure that you not only keep your oven running but also guarantee a healthy profit margin to keep your dreams of running a successful bakery alive!
