PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one burger from vegetarian, hotdog, tuna and egg. The table represents the pupils' choices. The pupils' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the burgers were not shown. What was the total number of pupils who chose tuna and vegetarian burgers?
Burgers |
Pupils |
Vegetarian |
20% |
Hotdog |
10% |
Tuna |
30% |
Egg |
40% |
Number of pupils who chose hotdog burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose hotdog burgers = 40
10% of pupils = 40
1% of pupils = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose tuna burgers = 30%
Percent of pupils who chose vegetarian burgers = 20%
Percent of pupils who chose tuna and vegetarian burgers
= 30% + 20%
= 50%
Total number of pupils who chose hotdog and egg burgers
= 50 x 4
= 200
Answer(s): 200
