question\naaden owns a small business selling used books. he knows that in the last week 87 customers paid cash, 5 customers used a debit card, and 24 customers used a credit card.\nbased on these results, express the probability that the next customer will pay with cash as a percent to the nearest whole number.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular el número total de clientes

Sumamos el número de clientes que pagaron de diferentes maneras: $87 + 5+24=116$.

Step2: Calcular la probabilidad

La probabilidad $P$ de que un cliente pague en efectivo es el número de clientes que pagaron en efectivo dividido por el número total de clientes. Entonces $P=\frac{87}{116}$.

Step3: Convertir a porcentaje

Multiplicamos la probabilidad por 100: $\frac{87}{116}\times100=\frac{8700}{116}\approx75$.

Answer:

75%
