It sounds like you might need a Python script that could be useful for a baker. Let’s create a simple Python script that can help a baker calculate the ingredients needed for a recipe based on the number of servings they want to make. This script will be particularly helpful for scaling recipes up or down.

For instance, if a baker has a recipe for 10 servings and wants to adjust it to a different number of servings, this script will do the math for them.

Here’s a simple script for that:

# This script calculates the amount of each ingredient needed based on the number of servings.

# Define the original recipe in terms of servings and ingredients
original_servings = 10
ingredients = {
    'flour (grams)': 500,
    'sugar (grams)': 200,
    'eggs': 3,
    'butter (grams)': 250,
    'baking powder (teaspoons)': 2
}

def scale_recipe(ingredients, original_servings, desired_servings):
    # Calculate the scaling factor
    scale_factor = desired_servings / original_servings

    # Scale the ingredients
    scaled_ingredients = {item: quantity * scale_factor for item, quantity in ingredients.items()}

    return scaled_ingredients

# Ask the user for the number of servings they want to prepare
desired_servings = int(input("Enter the number of servings you need: "))

# Call the function and get the scaled recipe
scaled_ingredients = scale_recipe(ingredients, original_servings, desired_servings)

# Print the scaled ingredients
print(f"Ingredients needed for {desired_servings} servings:")
for ingredient, quantity in scaled_ingredients.items():
    print(f"{ingredient}: {quantity:.2f}")

How to Use the Script

1. Run the Script: Launch the script in your Python environment.
2. Input Desired Servings: Enter the number of servings you need when prompted.
3. Get Results: The script will display the amount of each ingredient you need to use.

This script is useful for bakers who need to quickly adjust their recipes based on the number of customers or orders they have. Adjust the ingredients and original_servings according to your specific recipe.
