Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Slushy recipe required fruit juice=4 cups

You have fruit juice=\(3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\) cups

We have to find the percentage of ingredients required to cut back to make recipe turn out correctly.

You have to required fruit juice =\(4-\frac{7}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\)

You need to cut back all ingredients to make the recipe turn out correctly=\(\frac{1}{2}\) cup

Percentage you need to cut back all ingredients to make the recipe turn out correctly=\(\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{4}\times 100=\)12.5 %

Hence, you need to cut back all the ingredients to make the recipe turn out correctly=12.5%
