Answer:
When six guests choose cheesecake and eight choose apple pie, the ratio is 6:8. If we use the same prompt but change 6 to 3 and change 8 to 4, the ratio becomes 3:4 with the pie graph looking exactly the same.
6:8 comes out to a total of 14 people
and 3:4 comes out to a total of 7 people
The two ratios are equivalent due to the graphs looking exactly the same as well as that 14 is double of 7.

To do this, we're going to use the order of operations (PEMDAS):
P - Parentheses
E - Exponents
M - Multiplication
D - Division
A - Addition
S - Subtraction
First let's do parentheses, there isn't anythig in parentheses we need to simplify, so we can skip this step.
Next let's look for exponents. I see we have a so let's replace that with
:
Now let's look for multiplcation. We know that things that are right next to eachother in parentheses represent multiplcation, so let's simply this more:
And now we're left with a simple problem we know how to solve.
