Question

Henry owns a small business selling clothing. He knows that in the last week 70 customers paid cash, 20 customers used a debit card, and 22 customers used a credit card.

Based on these results, express the probability that the next customer will pay with something other than a debit card as a percent to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

To find the probability that the next customer will pay with something other than a debit card, subtract the probability of paying with a debit card from 100%. The probability is approximately 82%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that the next customer will pay with something other than a debit card, we need to subtract the probability of paying with a debit card from 100%. The probability of paying with a debit card is the number of customers who paid with a debit card divided by the total number of customers. In this case, the number of customers who paid with a debit card is 20 and the total number of customers is 70 + 20 + 22 = 112. So, the probability of paying with a debit card is 20/112 = 0.1786.

Therefore, the probability of paying with something other than a debit card is 1 - 0.1786 = 0.8214.

To express this probability as a percent to the nearest whole number, we multiply by 100 and round to the nearest whole number. So, the probability is approximately 82%.

Answer 2

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

it’s 82% but rounded its 80
