Question

144 customers rated the coffee shop as “good”. This number is only 60% of the total customers? How many total customers rated it “good”?

Answer 1

240 customers

Explanation:

144 is 60% of the total customers. We can refer to this as a ratio.

`(144)/(x) = (60)/(100)`

Let x be the total number of customers. (60% is 60/100).

Cross multiply to find the value of x.

`14400 = 60x`

(Divide by 60 from both sides.)

`240 = x`

So, 144 is 60% of 240. 240 total customers rated it as good.
