Solution

Primero, necesitamos determinar la proporción de clientes que pagaron con tarjeta de débito la semana pasada. Para ello, sumamos el total de clientes:

70 (efectivo) + 3 (tarjeta de débito) + 39 (tarjeta de crédito) = 112 clientes.

Luego, calculamos la proporción de clientes que usaron tarjeta de débito:

3 (tarjeta de débito) / 112 (total de clientes) ≈ 0.0268.

Ahora, aplicamos esta proporción al número esperado de clientes la próxima semana:

0.0268 * 500 ≈ 13.4.

Finalmente, redondeamos al número entero más cercano:

13.4 ≈ 13.

Por lo tanto, se espera que aproximadamente 13 clientes paguen con tarjeta de débito la próxima semana.
