Answer

\( \text{Expected cash customers next week} = \frac{7}{69} \times 1100 \approx 111 \)

Steps

Step 1 ：\( \text{Total customers last week} = 14 + 121 + 3 = 138\)

Step 2 ：\( \text{Cash payment probability} = \frac{14}{138} = \frac{7}{69} \)

Step 3 ：\( \text{Expected cash customers next week} = \frac{7}{69} \times 1100 \approx 111 \)
