PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one rice set from turkey, vegetarian, egg and beef. The table represents the pupils' choices. The pupils' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the rice sets were not shown. What was the total number of pupils who chose egg and turkey rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Pupils |
Turkey |
35% |
Vegetarian |
10% |
Egg |
25% |
Beef |
30% |
Number of pupils who chose vegetarian rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose vegetarian rice sets = 40
10% of pupils = 40
1% of pupils = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose egg rice sets = 25%
Percent of pupils who chose turkey rice sets = 35%
Percent of pupils who chose egg and turkey rice sets
= 25% + 35%
= 60%
Total number of pupils who chose vegetarian and beef rice sets
= 60 x 4
= 240
Answer(s): 240
