Burgers |
Students |
Turkey |
30% |
Egg |
20% |
Chicken |
10% |
Mutton |
40% |
Number of students who chose chicken burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose chicken burgers = 30
10% of students = 30
1% of students = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Percent of students who chose turkey burgers = 30%
Percent of students who chose egg burgers = 20%
Percent of students who chose turkey and egg burgers
= 30% + 20%
= 50%
Total number of students who chose chicken and turkey burgers
= 50 x 3
= 150
Answer(s): 150
