$1,425

Explanation:

The movie theater losses $475 in one day:

Lost money Days

$475 ⇒ 1

we want to know how much money will be lost in 3 days, that quantity will be x:

Lost money Days

$475 ⇒ 1

$x ⇒ 3

We solve this problem using rule of three: we multiply the cross quantities in the table ($475 and 3) and divide by the remaining number (1):

x = ($475)(3)/1

x= $1,425
