"twice as much flour as sugar."

INGREDIENT        PRICE        AMT.      COST
Sugar             3             x        3x
Flour             2            2x        4x
Chocolate         5             c        5c
TOTALS                         18         50

Could be a system of two equations in two unknown variables.
