15(b)
Difference between the fraction of the pupils that like guinea pigs and fraction of the pupils that like chickens

310 -
15=
310 -
210=
110Total number of pupils = 10 u
Number of pupils that like guinea pigs more than chickens = 1 u
1 u = 8
Total number of pupils
= 10 u
= 10 x 8
= 80
Answer(s): (a)
