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

Respuesta :

Answer:

240 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

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

[tex] \frac{144}{x} = \frac{60}{100} [/tex]

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

Cross multiply to find the value of x.

[tex]14400 = 60x[/tex]

(Divide by 60 from both sides.)

[tex]240 = x[/tex]

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