Answer 19

where the x represents the number of customers out of 1000 that ordered turkey and ham.

Answer 20

390 - 300 = 90 people ordered just turkey (and not ham)

Answer 21

"345 customers ordered ham"

so 345 - 300 = 45 just ordered ham (and not turkey
next 90+45 = 135 orders were for either turkey or ham (picking one, not both)

300-135 = 165 is for both at the same time

so 165

Answer 22

35 i kinda shorten it but heirs the quick way with calculator. 1000-390=610
345 - 610= 265 300- 265=35 and 35 is the answer.
