Answer 1

To calculate the total potential revenue from popcorn sales, we first need to determine how many servings can be made from the available popcorn kernels.

1. Calculate the number of servings: \[ \text{Number of servings} = \frac{\text{Total grams of popcorn}}{\text{Grams per serving}} = \frac{19,717 \text{ grams}}{196 \text{ grams/serving}} \approx 100.1 \] Since we cannot sell a fraction of a serving, we round down to 100 servings.

2. Calculate total potential revenue: \[ \text{Total Potential Revenue} = \text{Number of servings} \times \text{Price per serving} = 100 \times 5 = 500 \]

Therefore, the carnival can potentially make approximately $500 in revenue from popcorn sales.

The correct response is $500.
