The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
5%/84% = 5/84
The answer is 0.0595238095238095. And rounding our answer to he nearest tenth (percent), we’d be getting .060.

Answer:
0.06 or 6% probability
Step-by-step explanation:
At a gas station, 84% of customers buy gasoline
P (A) = [tex]\frac{84}{100}[/tex] = 0.84
5% of customers buy gasoline and a beverage
P (B) = [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex] = 0.05
Equation of conditional probability = P (A and B) = P(A) × P(B/A)
= P(B/A) = P (A and B) / P(A)
= P ( B/A ) = [tex]\frac{0.05}{0.84}[/tex]
= 0.0595 ≈ 0.060 or 6%
The probability that a customer who buys gasoline also buys a beverage is 0.060 or 6%.
