PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one rice set from chicken, mutton, tuna and egg. 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 chicken and tuna rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Students |
Chicken |
5% |
Mutton |
40% |
Tuna |
10% |
Egg |
45% |
Number of students who chose chicken rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose chicken rice sets = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose chicken rice sets = 5%
Percent of students who chose tuna rice sets = 10%
Percent of students who chose chicken and tuna rice sets
= 5% + 10%
= 15%
Total number of students who chose chicken and tuna rice sets
= 15 x 2
= 30
Answer(s): 30
