Gianna Poole · Answer 2

The probability that a customer buys a taco or a drink is 55%.

Step-by-step explanation:

P (A or B) means the probability that either A happens or B happens. In this case, A is that a customer buys a taco and B is that a customer buys a drink. This means that P (A or B) is the probability that a customer buys a taco or a drink.

0.55 is read as "55 hundredths"; this makes it the fraction 55/100, which is also 55%.

Since the probability equals 55%, this means the probability of a customer buying a taco or a rink is 55%.
