Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total customers last week

$44 + 11+84=139$

Step2: Find proportion of cash - paying customers

The proportion of cash - paying customers last week is $\frac{44}{139}$.

Step3: Estimate cash - paying customers next week

Multiply the proportion by the expected number of customers next week: $\frac{44}{139}\times1400=\frac{61600}{139}\approx443$

Answer:

443
