Answer 2

160 member

Explanation:

Here the question is, how many total member are there in the team?

Given: 144 member in the meeting is equal to 90% of the total group.

Let assume x be the total member in the green team.

Now, finding the number of member in the team, which is x.

`(90)/(100) * x = 144`

Next, cross multiply the number on both the side

⇒
`x= (144 * 100)/(90) = 16* 10`

∴ x = 160

160 is the total number of member in green team.
