The total ratio of the ingredients in the salsa recipe is 2 + 5 + 9 = <<2+5+9=16>>16.
To find the number of cups of tomato needed to make 96 cups of salsa, we need to determine the fraction of the total that represents tomato.
Amount of tomato = (ratio of tomato / total ratio) * total cups of salsa
= (9 / 16) * 96
= 54.
Therefore, 54 cups of tomato are needed to make 96 cups of salsa.
