Add up all thr ingredients
2 1/2 + 4 1/2 = 7
and
2 1/4 + 3/4 = 3
and
7 + 3 = 10 cups total
--------------------------
1 serving is 3/4 cup
200 servings is 600/4 cups
---------------------------
( 600/4 ) / 10 = 600/40
600/40 = 15
15 batches of the recipe are needed
-----------------------------------
