Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total customers last week

$25 + 24+4=53$

Step2: Find proportion of debit - card users

The proportion of debit - card users last week is $\frac{24}{53}$.

Step3: Estimate debit - card users next week

Multiply the proportion by the expected number of customers next week. So the expected number of debit - card users next week is $\frac{24}{53}\times500=\frac{12000}{53}\approx226$

Answer:

226
