To find the expected number of orders of a breakfast sandwich and a cup of orange juice, we can use the percentages from the data given:

- Breakfast sandwich and orange juice: 13/79 = 0.1646
- Muffins and orange juice: 27/79 = 0.3418
- Breakfast sandwich and Milk: 23/79 = 0.2911
- Muffins and Milk: 16/79 = 0.2025

To find the expected number of orders of a breakfast sandwich and orange juice out of 1765 customers, we can multiply the total number of customers by the percentage of orders with a breakfast sandwich and orange juice:

0.1646 * 1765 = 290.49

The closest option to the calculated value is:

C. 291 orders

Therefore, the answer is 291 orders.
