Answer:

The total number of green team members is 160.

Explanation:

Given:

There are 144 members at the meeting, which is 90% of the total group.

So, let the total number be
x.

According to question:

90% of
x=144.


(90)/(100)* x=144


0.90* x=144


0.90x=144

Now, dividing both sides by 0.90 we get:


x=160

Therefore, the total number of green team members is 160.
