PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one sandwich from egg, beef, chicken and tuna. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the sandwiches were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose chicken and egg sandwiches?
Sandwiches |
Students |
Egg |
20% |
Beef |
5% |
Chicken |
35% |
Tuna |
40% |
Number of students who chose beef sandwiches is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose beef sandwiches = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose chicken sandwiches = 35%
Percent of students who chose egg sandwiches = 20%
Percent of students who chose chicken and egg sandwiches
= 35% + 20%
= 55%
Total number of students who chose beef and tuna sandwiches
= 55 x 2
= 110
Answer(s): 110
