Question

A carnival wants to estimate its total potential revenue on popcorn sales. They have 19,717 grams of popcorn kernals, and each serving uses 196 grams. Each serving sells for $5. If they sell all the popcorn, approximently how much potential revenue will the carnival make?

Answer 1

The number of servings that can be made from the popcorn is 19,717 grams / 196 grams/serving = <<19717/196=100>>100.84 servings.
Since they cannot sell a partial serving, they can sell 100 servings, and thus will make $5/serving x 100 servings = $<<5*100=500>>500. Answer: \boxed{500}.
