To find the expected number of orders for a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice, we can use the proportion of orders that included a breakfast sandwich and orange juice from the table.
The total number of orders that include a breakfast sandwich and orange juice is 13.
The total number of orders is 13 + 27 + 23 + 16 = 79.
So, the proportion of orders that include a breakfast sandwich and orange juice is 13/79.
To find the expected number of orders with 1,765 customers, we can multiply this proportion by the total number of customers:
(13/79) * 1765 = 291.39
Therefore, Mitch would expect to sell approximately 291 orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice with 1,765 customers.
So, the answer is: 291 orders.
