A carnival wants to estimate its total potential renevue on popcorn sales. They have 196 grams. Each seeing sells for $5. If they sell all the popcorn, approimately how much potential revenue I'll the carnival make?

Question

$100

$500

$475

$950

Answer 1

To estimate the total potential revenue from popcorn sales, we need to determine how many servings can be made from the 196 grams of popcorn. However, we don't have the information on how much popcorn is needed for one serving.

Assuming a typical serving size is around 25 grams, we can calculate the number of servings:

\[ \text{Number of servings} = \frac{\text{Total grams}}{\text{Servings size}} = \frac{196 \text{ g}}{25 \text{ g/serving}} \approx 7.84 \text{ servings} \]

Since we can't sell a fraction of a serving, we must round down to 7 servings.

Next, we calculate the potential revenue:

\[ \text{Total revenue} = \text{Number of servings} \times \text{Price per serving} = 7 \text{ servings} \times 5 \text{ dollars/serving} = 35 \text{ dollars} \]

Since none of the provided options match this calculation, let's re-evaluate how we might fit the popcorn into the provided options.

If we consider that the question might expect us to maximize servings somehow beyond 196 grams or has some misunderstanding, we may not have enough clarity on serving sizes.

Regardless, if they can sell popcorn and if every serving is indeed $5 each, the closest solution would only match after viewing a different context in which the serving size is viewed in scales that surpass averages typically.

If we have multiple servings, we can multiply the servings filled as follows:

• For simplicity: if you could simply scale with approximations:
• Each of the servings produced could yield higher inputs, especially if they find their methods extend, leading up to $500 given certain batches from a failure point can be reached, hence an estimated option > of common methods taken.

Overall assuming a larger pool of servings might push it further higher but constrained unless clear working serving was defined. The accurate answer without modifications to constraints leads to not matching your figures, yet between those selectable that could yield notably through quantification models, one ought to sum at 5x scopes presumed until they find consistent measures throughout larger quantities intact.

As written, please have clarity on measurements to correctly address relationships in those serving inputs and detailed serving mechanisms confirming the further methods instead.
