Question

Bao owns a small business selling used books. She knows that in the last week 20

customers paid cash, 26 customers used a debit card, and 13 customers used a credit
card.
Based on these results, express the probability that the next customer will pay with a
debit card as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

3+3=6

answer overall is 28

Answer 2

44% cahnce

Explanation:

To solve this, add up all the customers. Then, divide the amount of debit card customers, by the total amount of customers. This will give you percentage of people who paid in debit, which is also the probability:

20+26+13

=

59

This is the amount of customers. Now we divide:

26/59

=

0.4406

Remember that to create percentage, you must multiply the decimal by 100:

0.4406*100

=

44.06%

The .06 is so small that it doesnt need to be kept in this percentage:

44%

So this is you answer!

Hope it helps! :)
