PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one taco from egg, turkey, beef and tuna. 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 beef and egg tacos?
Tacos |
Students |
Egg |
25% |
Turkey |
20% |
Beef |
5% |
Tuna |
50% |
Number of students who chose beef tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose beef tacos = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose egg tacos = 25%
Percent of students who chose turkey tacos = 20%
Percent of students who chose egg and turkey tacos
= 25% + 20%
= 45%
Total number of students who chose beef and egg tacos
= 45 x 2
= 90
Answer(s): 90
