A movie theater can hold 50 people at a time.  They charge $8.00 a ticket.  On a Tuesday night they only sold 24 tickets.  By not selling out, how much money did they lose?
The theater can hold 50 people and they charge $8.00 to watch a movie so on a sold-out night they make 50*8 = $<<50*8=400.00>>400.00
On Tuesday night they only sold 24 tickets at $8.00 apiece so they made 24*8 = $<<24*8=192.00>>192.00
If they make $400.00 on a sold-out night and they only made $192.00 on Tuesday then they lost 400-192 = $<<400-192=208.00>>208.00
