PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one rice set from turkey, egg, chicken and hotdog. The table represents the pupils' choices. The pupils' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the rice sets were not shown. What was the total number of pupils who chose chicken and turkey rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Pupils |
Turkey |
45% |
Egg |
5% |
Chicken |
35% |
Hotdog |
15% |
Number of pupils who chose egg rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose egg rice sets = 10
5% of pupils = 10
1% of pupils = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of pupils who chose chicken rice sets = 35%
Percent of pupils who chose turkey rice sets = 45%
Percent of pupils who chose chicken and turkey rice sets
= 35% + 45%
= 80%
Total number of pupils who chose egg and hotdog rice sets
= 80 x 2
= 160
Answer(s): 160
