How to increase a recipe by 30 percent?

To increase a recipe by 30%, simply multiply all the ingredient quantities by 1.3. For instance, if the recipe calls for 2 cups of flour, you will need to use 2 cups x 1.3 = 2.6 cups of flour. Remember to convert the results to the appropriate units (whole numbers, fractions, etc.). Here is an example calculation:

Original Recipe:

- 2 cups flour

- 1 cup sugar

- 2 tablespoons baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt

To Increase by 30%:

- Flour: 2 cups x 1.3 = 2.6 cups

- Sugar: 1 cup x 1.3 = 1.3 cups (can be rounded to 1 1/3 cups)

- Baking Powder: 2 tablespoons x 1.3 = 2.6 tablespoons (can be rounded to 2 1/2 tablespoons)

- Salt: 1 teaspoon x 1.3 = 1.3 teaspoons (can be rounded to 1 1/4 teaspoons)

Thus, the increased recipe would require:

- 2.6 cups flour

- 1 1/3 cups sugar

- 2 1/2 tablespoons baking powder

- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
