Kosma used 242 cups of water in total

Kosma is cooking a lamb stew

The recipe uses 12 cups of water per person

She is cooking for 9 people, the number of cups used is calculated by multiplying 12 by 9

= 12 × 9

= 108

She added extra 134 cups of water as she noticed that she will be needing a little extra stew

Total number of cups of water used

= 134 + 108

= 242

Hence Kosma used 242 cups of water for the stew
