To find the proportion of sugar in the total amount of ingredients, we need to calculate the total weight of all the ingredients first.
Total weight of all ingredients = Carrot + Flour + Butter + Sugar
Total weight of all ingredients = 300 + 300 + 100 + 400
Total weight of all ingredients = 1100 grams
Now, we can find the proportion of sugar by dividing the weight of sugar by the total weight of all ingredients.
Proportion of sugar = Weight of sugar / Total weight of all ingredients
Proportion of sugar = 400 / 1100
Proportion of sugar = 0.3636 or 36.36%
Therefore, the proportion of sugar in the total amount of ingredients used was 36.36%.
Total weight of all ingredients = Carrot + Flour + Butter + Sugar
Total weight of all ingredients = 300 + 300 + 100 + 400
Total weight of all ingredients = 1100 grams
Now, we can find the proportion of sugar by dividing the weight of sugar by the total weight of all ingredients.
Proportion of sugar = Weight of sugar / Total weight of all ingredients
Proportion of sugar = 400 / 1100
Proportion of sugar = 0.3636 or 36.36%
Therefore, the proportion of sugar in the total amount of ingredients used was 36.36%.
