PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one sandwich from tuna, turkey, hotdog and beef. 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 hotdog and tuna sandwiches?
Sandwiches |
Students |
Tuna |
35% |
Turkey |
10% |
Hotdog |
40% |
Beef |
15% |
Number of students who chose turkey sandwiches is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose turkey sandwiches = 40
10% of students = 40
1% of students = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Percent of students who chose hotdog sandwiches = 40%
Percent of students who chose tuna sandwiches = 35%
Percent of students who chose hotdog and tuna sandwiches
= 40% + 35%
= 75%
Total number of students who chose turkey and beef sandwiches
= 75 x 4
= 300
Answer(s): 300
