PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one rice set from beef, turkey, 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 tuna and beef rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Students |
Beef |
25% |
Turkey |
10% |
Tuna |
50% |
Egg |
15% |
Number of students who chose turkey rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose turkey rice sets = 40
10% of students = 40
1% of students = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Percent of students who chose tuna rice sets = 50%
Percent of students who chose beef rice sets = 25%
Percent of students who chose tuna and beef rice sets
= 50% + 25%
= 75%
Total number of students who chose turkey and egg rice sets
= 75 x 4
= 300
Answer(s): 300
