In the chocolate chip cookie example, we used this recipe here. It calls for 2 cups of flour, which is 241g of flour by weight. If you add up both the brown sugar and the granulated sugar, the total sugar weight is 273g. 273 divided by 241 equals 1.13, or 113%. If you have a specific recipe you'd like us to look at with you, consider giving our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-BAKE (2253). We'll be able to walk you through the ins and outs of baker's percentage. Also, check out this article on our blog to get a baseline idea of how to use this approach. Good luck! Kye@KAF
