PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one noodle set from vegetarian, mutton, tuna and egg. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the noodle sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose tuna and vegetarian noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Students |
Vegetarian |
35% |
Mutton |
10% |
Tuna |
40% |
Egg |
15% |
Number of students who chose mutton noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose mutton noodle sets = 20
10% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 10 = 2
Percent of students who chose tuna noodle sets = 40%
Percent of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets = 35%
Percent of students who chose tuna and vegetarian noodle sets
= 40% + 35%
= 75%
Total number of students who chose mutton and egg noodle sets
= 75 x 2
= 150
Answer(s): 150
