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.

Answer 1

To find the total potential revenue from the popcorn sales, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the number of servings from the popcorn kernels: \[ \text{Total servings} = \frac{\text{Total grams of popcorn}}{\text{Grams per serving}} = \frac{19,717 \text{ grams}}{196 \text{ grams/serving}} \approx 100.09 \] Since we can't sell a fraction of a serving, we can sell 100 servings.

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

Therefore, the carnival's potential revenue from popcorn sales is approximately $500.
