The table shows that 13 orders were for a breakfast sandwich and orange juice. To find out how many orders of this combination would be expected out of 1,765 customers, multiply the percentage of orders for this combination by the total number of customers.
13 orders / (13 + 27 + 23 + 16) total orders = 13 / 79 total orders = 0.1646
0.1646 * 1765 customers = 291 orders
Therefore, Mitch would expect to sell 291 orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice out of 1,765 customers.
