Answer: 64%

Explanation:

Given : The portion of shoppers at a supermarket who pay by credit card is 0.36

Then, the percent of shoppers at a supermarket who pay by credit card
=0.36*100=36\% [we multiply 100 to a number to convert it into percent.]

Percent of shoppers do not pay by credit card + Percent of shoppers pay by credit card =100%

[∵ Sum of all probability of outcomes in event is 100%]

Then , Percent of shoppers do not pay by credit card

=100%- Percent of shoppers pay by credit card

= 100 %-36%= 64%

Hence, the percent of shoppers at the supermarket do not pay by credit card = 64%
