A food company surveyed its customers. They found 8,131 preferred the old coffee cake muffins, while 6,543 preferred the new cornbread ones. How many customers responded to the survey?

Answer 1

To find the total number of customers who responded to the survey, you simply need to add the number of customers who preferred the old coffee cake muffins to the number of customers who preferred the new cornbread muffins.

Total customers = Number of customers who preferred old coffee cake muffins + Number of customers who preferred new cornbread muffins

Total customers = 8,131 + 6,543 = 14,674

Therefore, the total number of customers who responded to the survey is 14,674.
