PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one spaghetti set from egg, vegetarian, turkey and mutton. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the spaghetti sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose egg and turkey spaghetti sets?
Spaghetti Sets |
Students |
Egg |
15% |
Vegetarian |
25% |
Turkey |
25% |
Mutton |
35% |
Number of students who chose egg spaghetti sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose egg spaghetti sets = 60
15% of students = 60
1% of students = 60 ÷ 15 = 4
Percent of students who chose egg spaghetti sets = 15%
Percent of students who chose turkey spaghetti sets = 25%
Percent of students who chose egg and turkey spaghetti sets
= 15% + 25%
= 40%
Total number of students who chose egg and turkey spaghetti sets
= 40 x 4
= 160
Answer(s): 160
