As a result of the price increase, an additional $188.50 was made.

The first step here is to find out the increased revenue that was earned on each bag of popcorn:

= New price - old price

= 3.75 - 3.10

= $0.65

The concession stand sold 290 units so the increased amount that was earned was:

= Incremental revenue x Number of units sold

= 0.65 x 290

= $188.50

In conclusion, an additional $188.50 was made.
