Tamara is reviewing recent orders at her deli to determine which meats she should order. She found that out of 1,000 orders, 450 customers ordered turkey, 375 customers ordered ham, and 250 customers ordered neither turkey nor ham. Based on these data, how many of the next 1,000 customers will order both turkey and ham?

Tamara has 1000 orders of deli
=> 450 = ordered for turkey
=> 375 = ordered for ham
=> 250 = ordered for either ham and turkey
Now, let’s start calculating the possible answer:
=> 1000 – 250 (neither ham or turkey)
=> 750 remaining ham and turkey order
=> 450 ordered turkey and 375 ordered ham
=> 450 + 375 = 825 ordered for ham and turkey
=> 825 – 750 = 75
SO, it shows that there will be sure 75 ordered of neither ham nor turkey for the next 1000 order.

Based on the analysis, 75 customers ordered both turkey and ham from the previous 1,000 orders. If this trend continues, we can expect the same number of customers to order both meats in the next 1,000 orders. Therefore, Tamara should be prepared for 75 orders of both turkey and ham.
