Answer 1

144 is 45% of the total customers who took the survey.

Total customers who took survey= 144 × 100/45 = 320

Answer 2

The total number of customers who took the survey is 320 customers

let

x = total number of customers

percentage of "very satisfactory" customers = 45%

Number of "very satisfactory" customers = 144

So,

Number of "very satisfactory" customers = percentage of "very satisfactory" customers × total number of customers

144 = 45% × x

144 = 0.45 × x

144 = 0.45x

x = 144/0.45

x = 320

Therefore, the total number of customers who took the survey is 320
