PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one burger from tuna, chicken, hotdog and turkey. 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 hotdog and tuna burgers?
Burgers |
Students |
Tuna |
10% |
Chicken |
40% |
Hotdog |
5% |
Turkey |
45% |
Number of students who chose hotdog burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose hotdog burgers = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose tuna burgers = 10%
Percent of students who chose chicken burgers = 40%
Percent of students who chose tuna and chicken burgers
= 10% + 40%
= 50%
Total number of students who chose hotdog and tuna burgers
= 50 x 4
= 200
Answer(s): 200
