PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one taco from hotdog, beef, turkey and chicken. The table represents the pupils' choices. The pupils' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the tacos were not shown. What was the total number of pupils who chose turkey and hotdog tacos?
Tacos |
Pupils |
Hotdog |
25% |
Beef |
20% |
Turkey |
30% |
Chicken |
25% |
Number of pupils who chose beef tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose beef tacos = 40
20% of pupils = 40
1% of pupils = 40 ÷ 20 = 2
Percent of pupils who chose turkey tacos = 30%
Percent of pupils who chose hotdog tacos = 25%
Percent of pupils who chose turkey and hotdog tacos
= 30% + 25%
= 55%
Total number of pupils who chose beef and chicken tacos
= 55 x 2
= 110
Answer(s): 110
