Carry out this task

  1. Open the linked tool and enter the displayed values.
  2. Keep the measured remainder even though no full bake is possible.
  3. Choose Calculate & Save and compare the displayed result with the worked calculation.

Calculation and observed tool result

Stock = 0 × 1000 + 90 = 90 g; floor(90 ÷ 125) = 0 bakes

Recorded quantity: 90 g.

What the result means

The result is zero complete bakes while 90 g remains in stock.

A mistake to avoid

Zero bakes does not mean the jar is physically empty.

Limits of this example

The remainder may suit another recipe, which requires a separate dose assumption.
