PSLE
A group of pupils was asked to choose one rice set from hotdog, egg, chicken and beef. 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 hotdog rice sets?

Rice Sets	Pupils
Hotdog	40%
Egg	10%
Chicken	35%
Beef	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 = 40

10% of pupils = 40

1% of pupils = 40 ÷ 10 = 4

Percent of pupils who chose chicken rice sets = 35%
Percent of pupils who chose hotdog rice sets = 40%

Percent of pupils who chose chicken and hotdog rice sets
= 35% + 40%
= 75%

Total number of pupils who chose egg and beef rice sets
= 75 x 4
= 300

Answer(s): 300
