Answer 1

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call N the total number of televisions. We have that 240 televisions make up of 80% of the total number of televisions, so we can rewrite it as

$0.80 N = 240$

where 0.80 means 80 % ($\frac{80}{100}=0.8$. By solving the equation above, we find

$N=\frac{240}{0.80}=300$

So, the total number of televisions is 300.
