PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one taco from beef, tuna, egg and hotdog. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the tacos were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose egg and beef tacos?
Tacos |
Students |
Beef |
15% |
Tuna |
5% |
Egg |
35% |
Hotdog |
45% |
Number of students who chose tuna tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose tuna tacos = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose egg tacos = 35%
Percent of students who chose beef tacos = 15%
Percent of students who chose egg and beef tacos
= 35% + 15%
= 50%
Total number of students who chose tuna and hotdog tacos
= 50 x 4
= 200
Answer(s): 200
