Answer:
620 customers
Explanation:
Customers at an ice-cream shop took a survey.
Let the total number of customers who took the survey be represented by x
We are told in the question that:
The results showed that 279 customers rates the shop as being "very satisfactory." This number represented 45% of the total number of customers who took the survey.
Hence:
45% of x = 279 customers
= 45/100 × x = 279 customers
45x /100 = 279
Cross Multiply
45x = 100 × 279
x = 27900/45
x = 620 customers
The total number of customers who took the survey is 620 customers
