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

Answer 1

To determine the total number of servings of popcorn they can make, divide the total grams of popcorn kernels by the grams per serving: 19,717 grams / 196 grams/serving = <<19717/196=100>>100 servings
To find the total potential revenue, multiply the number of servings by the price per serving: 100 servings * $5/serving = $<<100*5=500>>500. Answer: \boxed{500}.
