Made 4/5 with butter......leaving 1/5 (or 35.2) ounces....

so 1/5 of what is 35.2
1/5x = 35.2
x = 35.2 * 5
x = 176 ounces....

16 ounces = 1 lb......so 176 ounces = (176/16) = 11 lbs <===

35.2 ounces is 1/5 of the popcorn

so 35.2 x 5 = 176

1 pound = 16 ounces

176÷16=11

The movie theater made 11 pounds of popcorn
