Respuesta :

d is going to be my answer
First, you should find the ratio of how much more sugar Maggie added.  Set it up like this:

6x = 9

x = 9/6

x = 3/2

We now know that Maggie added 3/2 more sugar than she was supposed to.  To keep consistent with recipe, we have to multiply this ratio with the amount the recipe calls for:

3/2(2) = 3

Maggie should add 3 tablespoons of mustard.
