Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate the Total Number of Complaints

To find the percentage of complaints due to "Poor tech support," we first need to calculate the total number of complaints. This is done by summing up all the frequencies in the table:

\[ \text{Total complaints} = 118 + 99 + 87 + 92 + 106 + 89 + 43 + 156 \]

\[ \text{Total complaints} = 790 \]

Step 2: Identify the Number of Complaints for "Poor Tech Support"

From the table, the number of complaints for "Poor tech support" is:

\[ \text{Poor tech support complaints} = 106 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Percentage of Complaints Due to "Poor Tech Support"

The percentage of complaints due to "Poor tech support" is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Poor tech support complaints}}{\text{Total complaints}} \right) \times 100 \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{106}{790} \right) \times 100 \]

\[ \text{Percentage} = 13.4177\% \]

Rounding to two decimal places:

\[ \text{Percentage} = 13.42\% \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{13.42\%} \]
