A movie-theater employee notes an inverse relationship between the theater's popcorn sales
and its nacho sales. On a given night, the theater makes 990 from popcorn sales and
$1,892 from nacho sales. If on the next night the employees sell $1,452 of popcorn, how
much is earned from nachos?

Answer:

Nachos sale on next night = $ 2,776/-

Explanation:

Data:-

On a given night theatre makes:

Popcorn sale = $990/-

Nacho Sales = $1,892/-

Next night Theatre makes:

Popcorn sale = $1,452/-

Nacho Sales = x (Let Assume)

Solution:

Given Night = Next Night

Popcorn sale/Nacho sale = Popcorn sale/Nacho sale

990 / 1,892 = 1,452 / x

0.523 = 1,452 / x

x = 1452 / 0.523

x = $2,776/-
