PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one taco from hotdog, egg, chicken and vegetarian. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the tacos were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose hotdog and chicken tacos?
Tacos |
Students |
Hotdog |
5% |
Egg |
35% |
Chicken |
30% |
Vegetarian |
30% |
Number of students who chose hotdog tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose hotdog tacos = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose hotdog tacos = 5%
Percent of students who chose chicken tacos = 30%
Percent of students who chose hotdog and chicken tacos
= 5% + 30%
= 35%
Total number of students who chose hotdog and chicken tacos
= 35 x 4
= 140
Answer(s): 140
