PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one rice set from beef, mutton, hotdog and turkey. 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 hotdog and beef rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Students |
Beef |
40% |
Mutton |
5% |
Hotdog |
20% |
Turkey |
35% |
Number of students who chose mutton rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose mutton rice sets = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose hotdog rice sets = 20%
Percent of students who chose beef rice sets = 40%
Percent of students who chose hotdog and beef rice sets
= 20% + 40%
= 60%
Total number of students who chose mutton and turkey rice sets
= 60 x 4
= 240
Answer(s): 240
