d. 204

Answer:

322 students

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we have:

- The number of tables in the cafeteria is 23; we call this number n:

[tex]n=23[/tex]

- The number of students that each table can seat is 14; we call this number s:

[tex]s=14[/tex]

Since each table can seat s students, it means that a total of n tables can seat a number of student equal to the product between s and n, therefore:

[tex]T=s\cdot n[/tex]

And by substituting the numbers, we find:

[tex]T=14\cdot 23=322[/tex]
