The total batches of cupcakes that you make with one small bag of sugar will be 22 batches

From the question, we are given the following

Weight of a small bag of sugar = 2.265kg = 2265grams

Since 100g of sugar to make one batch of cupcakes, then:

100g = 1 batch ... 1

In order to get the number of batches of cupcakes can you make with one small bag of sugar, we can write:

2265g = x ... 2

Divide both expressions;

100/2265 = 1/x

100x = 2265

x = 2265/100

x = 22.65 batches

Hence the batches of cupcakes that you make with one small bag of sugar will be 22 batches
