Answer 1

To find out how much money the theater took in that night, we can use the following calculation:

1. Calculate the total number of seats sold:

   • The cinema holds 1,356 people and had two showings, so: \[ 1,356 \text{ seats/showing} \times 2 \text{ showings} = 2,712 \text{ seats sold} \]

2. Calculate the total revenue:

   • Since the special price for each seat is $5, we multiply the total number of seats sold by the price per seat: \[ 2,712 \text{ seats} \times 5 \text{ dollars/seat} = 13,560 \text{ dollars} \]

Thus, the theater took in $13,560 that night.

The correct answer is B) $13,560.
