Answer:

Movietown Theater made a total of 10.2 pounds of butter on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

Movietown Theater made [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] fraction of their popcorn with butter and 32.5 ounces without butter.

Fraction made without butter=[tex]1-\frac{4}{5}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

It means [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of total popcorn made(t) was without butter.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}Xt=32.5[/tex]

t=32.5X5=162.5

They made 162.5 ounces of butter in total

Next, we determine the weight in pounds

16 ounces = 1 pound

162.5 ounces = 162.5/16 pounds

=10.2 pounds
