Answer:
770 customers
Step-by-step explanation:
Oooh I love these types of questions!
First we should add all of the numbers to find the total number of people so we can set up a proportion later.
70+36+46+40+8=200
Now that we've found the total, we need to find chocolate strawberry and vert berry, because the wording "or" would mean either. If the wording said "and" we would not have enough information to solve that.
Chocolate Strawberry is 70, and Very Berry is 40. Add that to get 110.
Now we have our needed numbers to make a proportion! This is because for each 200 people, we know that they'd want 110 Chocolate Strawberry or Very Berry.
So we would need to make a proportion for 1400.
110/200=x/1400
Cross multiply (or do that trick where you divide 1400 by 200 and then multiply 110 by that number, but cross-multiplying is a good habit)
110(1400)=200x
Simplify
154000=200x
Isolate the variable
154000=200x
/200 /200
770=x
And that would be your answer! If I made any errors, please tell me!
