well if she only added 1/2 cups, that means she only added (128/2) grams of sugar, which is 64 grams. From here you can see that she still needs more sugar so 1 and 3 are already out of the question. Now to find out how much more she needs to add, it's 32 grams. so 32/128= 1/4 and that should give you your answer ;D

**96g-64g=32 grams**
