PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one rice set from chicken, turkey, egg and hotdog. 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 egg and chicken rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Students |
Chicken |
50% |
Turkey |
5% |
Egg |
35% |
Hotdog |
10% |
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 = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose egg rice sets = 35%
Percent of students who chose chicken rice sets = 50%
Percent of students who chose egg and chicken rice sets
= 35% + 50%
= 85%
Total number of students who chose turkey and hotdog rice sets
= 85 x 4
= 340
Answer(s): 340
