Answer 1

160.

Explanation:

Given:

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

Question asked:

What is the total number of green team members ?

Solution:

Let the total number of green team members =
`x`

As given that 90% of the total number of green team members = 144

90% of the total number = 144

`(90)/(100) * x=144\\\\ 0.9x=144\\By\ dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.9\\x=160`

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