Calculate total number of customers: Calculate the total number of customers by adding the number of customers who paid with cash, debit card, and credit card. Total number of customers = Number of customers who paid cash + Number of customers who used a debit card + Number of customers who used a credit card Total number of customers = 55 (cash) + 11 (debit card) + 65 (credit card) Total number of customers = 131Calculate probability for cash payment: Calculate the probability that the next customer will pay with cash. The probability is the number of customers who paid with cash divided by the total number of customers. Probability (cash) = Number of customers who paid cash / Total number of customers Probability (cash) = 55 / 131Convert probability to percent: Convert the probability to a percent. To convert a decimal to a percent, multiply by 100 and round to the nearest whole number. Probability (cash) as a percent = (Probability (cash) * 100)% Probability (cash) as a percent = (55 / 131) * 100% Probability (cash) as a percent ≈ 41.9847328244% Rounded to the nearest whole number, the probability is approximately 42%.
