54 customers paid with cash
42 paid with debit card
153 paid with credit card

Add them up to find the total amount of people:

54 + 42 + 153 = 249

Now write 54(the number of customers who paid with cash) as a fraction over the total, 249.

54/249

So the probability that customers will pay cash is 54/249 or 18/83
