Introduction
Imagine baking as a fun adventure, where we use special math to make delicious treats! Our Baker's Calculator is like a magical tool that helps us figure out how much of each ingredient we need. We can even use it to make our recipes bigger or smaller. It's simple! We just divide the weight of an ingredient by the weight of the flour, and then we multiply by 100. That gives us the special number called the baker's percentage. We can do this for everything we put in our recipes, like butter, sugar, and even water. With our friendly calculator, baking becomes super easy and super yummy!
