Answer 2

Given :

Liam owns a small business selling bagels. He knows that in the last week 60 customers paid cash, 24 customers used a debit card, and 24 customers used a credit card.

To Find :

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 :

Probability that next person will pay with a debit card in percentage is :

`P = \frac{\text{Number of customer used debit card}}{\text{Total number of customers}}`

`P = 100* (24)/(60 + 24 + 24)\\\\P = 100 * (24)/(108)\\\\P = 22 \ \%`

Hence, this is the required solution.
