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