Answer 2

The number of customers who will pay by debit card will be 50.

What are fractions?

The fraction is defined as the division of the whole part into an equal number of parts.

Last week there were

32 + 2 + 26 = 60 customers.

That means that the fraction of the customers, who paid by debit card, was

2/60  =   1/30

In situations like that, when we use historical data and try to predict future behaviour, we use that past experience and extrapolate to a predicted result.

we simply say that we expect the same fraction, 1/30 if customers use credit cards.

for the absolute number of predicted debit  card customers we multiply the predicted number of customers by the expected fraction

1500  × 1 / 30 = 1500  /  30  = 50

Therefore the number of customers who will pay by debit card will be 50.
