Final answer:
To determine the revenue of Revengers 4, we formed an equation based on the given information, solved for the revenue of Revengers 3, and then calculated 15% more to get Revengers 4's revenue, which was approximately $523.34 million, aligning with option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking about how much revenue Revengers 4: It's Three Hours Long made at the box office given that its total, when combined with Revengers 3: War, is $978.43 million and that Revengers 4 made 15% more than Revengers 3. To solve this, we need to set up an equation where Revengers 3 is represented by x, so Revengers 4, which made 15% more, is represented by x + 0.15x or 1.15x. The sum of the two movies is $978.43 million, which can be expressed as the equation x + 1.15x = $978.43 million.
Combining like terms gives us 2.15x = $978.43 million. To find x, we divide both sides by 2.15:
x = $978.43 million / 2.15 = $455.08 million (approximately)
Now, to find the revenue for Revengers 4, we calculate 1.15x:
Revengers 4 = 1.15 × $455.08 million
Revengers 4 = $523.34 million (approximately)
This value matches closest to option C) $523.67 million, assuming a minor rounding difference.
