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)
