Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of customers who choose Blue Cheese dressing

The percentage of customers who choose Blue Cheese dressing is \(20\%\). So the number of customers is \(300\times20\% = 300\times0.2=60\).

Step2: Calculate the number of customers who choose French dressing

The percentage of customers who choose French dressing is \(5\%\). So the number of customers is \(300\times5\%=300\times0.05 = 15\).

Step3: Find the difference

The difference between the two numbers is \(60 - 15=45\).

Answer:
