Question

B. Clyde, the concessions manager, says, "We sold 53 bottles of water at intermission for $2 apiece. But

because the line was so long, 15 people gave up and went back to their seats without buying water. We
also sold 61 bags of popcorn. But 12 people threw away their popcorn, because the play was starting
and they were not allowed to bring food into the theater. They were pretty mad because popcorn costs
$4 a bag." What information did Clyde give you that is not needed to find the amount of money made
from concessions? Explain why this information is unnecessary. (You do not need to find the amount;
just identify the extra information.) (5 points)

Answer 2

Explanation:

The 15 people gave up water were not paid the $2 a piece, the 12 people throw away popcorn were paid their $4 a bag. Therefore Clyde did not have the necessity to re-calculate her amount of money made.
