Answer:

The answer is: 74% of its customers carry a credit card the store will accept.

Explanation:

  • Let A denote the event a customer carries American Express credit card (24%)
  • Let V denote the event a customer carries Visa credit card (61%)
  • Let AV denote the event a customer carries both credit cards (11%)

P(A ∪ V) = probability that a customer carries at least one credit card

P(A ∪ V) = P(A) + P(V) − P(AV)

P(A ∪ V) = 0.24 + 0.61 − 0.11 = 0.74
