Recipe A contains more sugar in each cookie.

Step-by-step explanation:

1Cup = 16 Tablespoons

4Cups =  64 T

3 Cups = 48 T

Recipe A        64/48 = 1.33333( 1 and 1/3 Tablespoon per cookie

Recipe B        48/54 = 0.88888 (8/9 Tablespoon per cookie)

Without doing the calculation we can  see that in recipe A the nominator is bigger  than the denominator,so it will be more than 1 Tablespoon of sugar  per cookie

And in  recipe B the nominator is smaller than the denominator so it will be less than a Tablespoon of sugar per cookie

Peanut Butter = .80 *1                          0.80

Sugar = .16*1                          0.16

Egg = .10*1                          0.10

Cardboard Cost                          0.25

Wages = (4 + 8 + 3)/60 * 9                          2.25

Overhead cost = 2.25*40%                          0.90

Standard Cost for a dozen cookies
