Well to solve this we can take 167+285+56=508 then we can take 56/508=.11 to find the probability that the next user will buy a blank card, meaning that there is a 11% probability that the next customer will buy a blank card.

Answer: There is 11% chance that the next costumer will buy a blank card.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of thank you cards = 167

Number of birthday cards = 285

Number of blank cards = 56

So, Total number of cards is given by

167+285+56=508

So, Probability that the next costumer will buy a blank card is given by

[tex]\frac{56}{508}\\\\=0.110\times 100\\\\=11\%[/tex]

Hence, there is 11% chance that the next costumer will buy a blank card.
