Problem

Annabelle owns a small business selling clothing. She knows that in the last week 56 customers paid cash, 26 customers used a debit card, and 9 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.

Solution

Step 1 :\(P(\text{Debit Card}) = \frac{\text{Number of Debit Card Customers}}{\text{Total Customers}}\)

Step 2 :\(P(\text{Debit Card}) = \frac{26}{56+26+9}\)

Step 3 :\(P(\text{Debit Card}) = \frac{26}{91} \approx 0.2857\)

Step 4 :\(P(\text{Debit Card}) \approx 28.57\%\)
