PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one burger from tuna, hotdog, chicken and turkey. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the burgers were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose tuna and chicken burgers?
Burgers |
Students |
Tuna |
5% |
Hotdog |
30% |
Chicken |
50% |
Turkey |
15% |
Number of students who chose tuna burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose tuna burgers = 15
5% of students = 15
1% of students = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Percent of students who chose tuna burgers = 5%
Percent of students who chose chicken burgers = 50%
Percent of students who chose tuna and chicken burgers
= 5% + 50%
= 55%
Total number of students who chose tuna and chicken burgers
= 55 x 3
= 165
Answer(s): 165
