After hearing about an upcoming school play, it's expected that only $60\%$ of the $108$ students who normally attend the AMC 8 discussion will show up. Each student is now expected to eat an average of three cookies apiece. Walter and Gretel’s recipe, which makes a batch of $18$ cookies, includes the following items:

- $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of flour
- $2$ eggs
- $3$ tablespoons butter
- $\frac{3}{4}$ cups sugar
