Answer: 305 people

Explanation:

The total number of people sampled is:

= 71 + 22 + 27 + 83

= 209

Out of this 209, the number of people who prefer Vanilla and cookie dough ice cream is:

= 71 + 27

= 98 people

In a sample of 209 people, 98 people would prefer either vanilla or cookie dough. In 650 people, that number would therefore be:

= 98/ 209 * 650

= 305 people
