Answer 1

300

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 % (
`(80)/(100)=0.8`. By solving the equation above, we find

`N=(240)/(0.80)=300`

So, the total number of televisions is 300.
