PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one burger from tuna, mutton, beef and vegetarian. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the burgers were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose tuna and beef burgers?
Burgers |
Students |
Tuna |
15% |
Mutton |
30% |
Beef |
35% |
Vegetarian |
20% |
Number of students who chose tuna burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose tuna burgers = 60
15% of students = 60
1% of students = 60 ÷ 15 = 4
Percent of students who chose tuna burgers = 15%
Percent of students who chose beef burgers = 35%
Percent of students who chose tuna and beef burgers
= 15% + 35%
= 50%
Total number of students who chose tuna and beef burgers
= 50 x 4
= 200
Answer(s): 200
