Lets say T = 9
Those who ordered Salads = 2/3 * 9 = 6
Those who had Italian dressing = 1/3 * 6 = 2

Those who did not have Italian dressing = 7 . So if you put T=9, answer should be 7

E answer

Of the total number of people who ate in a restaurant one evening, 2/3 ordered salads. Of those who ordered salad, 1/3 had Italian dressing on their salad. If the total number of people who ate in the restaurant that night was T, which of the following expressions represents the number of people who did not eat any Italian dressing at the restaurant that evening?

(A) 2/9*T
(B) 1/3*T
(C) 1/2*T
(D) 2/3*T
(E) 7/9*T

There were T people at the restaurant and (1/3) x (2/3) x T = (2/9)T had Italian dressing on their salads. Thus, in terms of T, the number of people who did not have Italian dressing on their salads is:

T - (2/9)T = (7/9)T

Answer: E
