Well, you would need to find out how much of 1.5 cups is 30%.
To do this you would multiply 1.5 by 30/100 or 30%.
The product you get is how much more water should be added in addition to the 1.5 cups.
the chocolate pie recipe needs 4 cups of flour, 4 eggs and 1.5 cups of water. to double the recipe, 30% more water should be added. How many cups of water should be added to double the recipe?
How do I solve this one?

Maybe some culinary experts could enlighten me, but ...
if you "double" the recipe, wouldn't you just double all the ingredients ??
Anyway, taking the wording at face value, you would need 1.3(1.5) cups of water or
1.95 cups of water

I'm hardly a "culinary expert," but if I doubled the recipe I'd multiply all of the ingredients by 2. I'd use 3 cups of water to double the recipe.
