Answer:

The gluten-free has stronger flavor of butterscotch

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Regular Batch:

5 cups of butterscotch chips and 16 cups of regular flour.

Gluten-free batch

3 cups of butterscotch chips and 8 cups of gluten-free flour.

Required

Which batch has stronger butterscotch flavor

First, we need to determine the percentage of butterscotch in both flavors by using:

[tex]\% = \frac{Butterscotch}{Total} * 100\%[/tex]

For Regular:

[tex]\%= \frac{5}{5 + 16} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%= \frac{5}{21} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\%= \frac{500\%}{21}[/tex]

[tex]\%= 23.81\%[/tex]

For Gluten-free

[tex]\% = \frac{3}{3 + 8} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{3}{11} * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]\% = \frac{300\%}{11}[/tex]

[tex]\% = 27.27\%[/tex]

Comparing both,

We can see that the percentage of butterscotch in gluten free batches is greater than that of regular batches

Hence:

The gluten-free has stronger flavor of butterscotch
