PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one taco from chicken, hotdog, tuna and beef. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the tacos were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose tuna and chicken tacos?
Tacos |
Students |
Chicken |
45% |
Hotdog |
25% |
Tuna |
5% |
Beef |
25% |
Number of students who chose tuna tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose tuna tacos = 15
5% of students = 15
1% of students = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Percent of students who chose chicken tacos = 45%
Percent of students who chose hotdog tacos = 25%
Percent of students who chose chicken and hotdog tacos
= 45% + 25%
= 70%
Total number of students who chose tuna and chicken tacos
= 70 x 3
= 210
Answer(s): 210
