Answer: 72 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "s" the amount of sugar in grams that must be used for 252 grams of coconut to keep the same ratio of coconut to sugar.
Knowing that in the recipe for the coconut cookies, should be 420 grams of coconut and 120 grams of sugar, and you only have 252 grams of coconut, you can set up this proportion to find "s":
Now, you need to solve for "s":
First, we are going to want to plug in the values we are given. In this case, we will end up with the equation:
From here, we can solve the equation to find 
:
- Apply the commutative property to rearrange the terms on the right-side of the equation to make the distributive property more apparent
- Apply the distributive property
- Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation
- Divide both sides of the equation by -2
We have found that c = 1.
