PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one rice set from vegetarian, chicken, beef and tuna. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the rice sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose beef and vegetarian rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Students |
Vegetarian |
40% |
Chicken |
25% |
Beef |
10% |
Tuna |
25% |
Number of students who chose beef rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose beef rice sets = 40
10% of students = 40
1% of students = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Percent of students who chose vegetarian rice sets = 40%
Percent of students who chose chicken rice sets = 25%
Percent of students who chose vegetarian and chicken rice sets
= 40% + 25%
= 65%
Total number of students who chose beef and vegetarian rice sets
= 65 x 4
= 260
Answer(s): 260
