1 level US cup of butter weighs about 227 g (8 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 240 g.
1 level tablespoon of butter is about 14 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 4.7 g.
100 g of butter is about 0.44 cups, or 7 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Butter is slightly lighter than water, so a cup weighs a little less (227 g vs 237 g).
