Assuming that each people attending can only take 1 cupcake; Alicia will have 4 batches of cupcakes to bake. Alicia will require 2 teaspoons of salt to make 4 batches of 21 cupcakes. You can solve it by dividing 84(people) by 21(cupcakes per batch to bake) which the answer is 4(batches of cupcakes to attend 84 people). 4(batches of cupcakes) multiplied by ½(teaspoon of salt per batch of cupcake) is 2(teaspoons of salt Alicia will require to make enough cupcakes for 84 people).
