PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one taco from hotdog, egg, beef and vegetarian. 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 beef and hotdog tacos?
Tacos |
Pupils |
Hotdog |
25% |
Egg |
25% |
Beef |
20% |
Vegetarian |
30% |
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 = 80
20% of pupils = 80
1% of pupils = 80 ÷ 20 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose hotdog tacos = 25%
Percent of pupils who chose egg tacos = 25%
Percent of pupils who chose hotdog and egg tacos
= 25% + 25%
= 50%
Total number of pupils who chose beef and hotdog tacos
= 50 x 4
= 200
Answer(s): 200
