Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total customers

$39 + 9 + 59 = 107$

Step2: Identify debit card users

Number of debit card users = 9

Step3: Write probability fraction

Probability = $\frac{\text{Debit card users}}{\text{Total customers}} = \frac{9}{107}$

Step4: Simplify the fraction

9 and 107 share no common factors besides 1, so the fraction is already in simplest form.

Answer:

$\frac{9}{107}$
