B. Total gross of Celine Dion’s Las Vegas Show
C. The cost of the Long Center for the Performing ArtsD. Annual budget of the UT Athletic Dept.

A conservative estimate of the cost to Central Texas of a single year of dropouts
$430 millionAnswer “B” is correct
Celine grossed $400 M over the life of her Vegas show
That would by almost FIVE Long Centers Or FOUR UT Athletics Departments
Or 7,820 teachers!
