PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one burger from egg, turkey, beef and mutton. 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 egg and beef burgers?
Burgers |
Students |
Egg |
5% |
Turkey |
10% |
Beef |
35% |
Mutton |
50% |
Number of students who chose egg burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose egg burgers = 15
5% of students = 15
1% of students = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Percent of students who chose egg burgers = 5%
Percent of students who chose beef burgers = 35%
Percent of students who chose egg and beef burgers
= 5% + 35%
= 40%
Total number of students who chose egg and beef burgers
= 40 x 3
= 120
Answer(s): 120
