PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one noodle set from hotdog, chicken, vegetarian and mutton. 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 vegetarian and hotdog noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Students |
Hotdog |
25% |
Chicken |
25% |
Vegetarian |
5% |
Mutton |
45% |
Number of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose hotdog noodle sets = 25%
Percent of students who chose chicken noodle sets = 25%
Percent of students who chose hotdog and chicken noodle sets
= 25% + 25%
= 50%
Total number of students who chose vegetarian and hotdog noodle sets
= 50 x 2
= 100
Answer(s): 100
