PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one sandwich from mutton, turkey, hotdog and beef. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the sandwiches were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose hotdog and mutton sandwiches?
Sandwiches |
Students |
Mutton |
25% |
Turkey |
5% |
Hotdog |
50% |
Beef |
20% |
Number of students who chose turkey sandwiches is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose turkey sandwiches = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose hotdog sandwiches = 50%
Percent of students who chose mutton sandwiches = 25%
Percent of students who chose hotdog and mutton sandwiches
= 50% + 25%
= 75%
Total number of students who chose turkey and beef sandwiches
= 75 x 2
= 150
Answer(s): 150
