Problem/activity:
You’re mixing ingredients for cookies. The recipe says to combine 6 tablespoons, or ¾ stick, of butter with 1 cup of sugar. You accidentally mix in a whole stick of butter (8 tablespoons) with the cup of sugar. How can you fix this?


Concept/skill: 
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem solves a real-world problem involving mixing ingredients for cookies. A student doing this problem would need to reason about equivalent ratios of butter amounts to sugar amounts.

Now, does the problem or activity shown below enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Read each situation below and then answer the questions that follow.
Situation A:
In the spring, an animal shelter had 216 animals. By the end of the summer, this number decreased by 8%. How many animals were at the shelter at the end of summer?
Situation B:
After advertising for adoptions on local television, an animal shelter decreased the number of animals at the shelter by 8%. There are now 216 animals. How many animals were at the shelter before the advertising?
a.   Sketch a visual diagram to represent each situation.
b.   How are the two situations similar?
c.   How are the two situations different?
Problem 2
A store sells backpacks in two sizes: small and large. The large backpacks sell for 20% more than the smaller backpacks. If a large backpack costs $75, how much does the small size cost?
Draw a visual representation of the situation, and then use an equation to solve.
