PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one noodle set from mutton, hotdog, chicken and egg. 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 chicken and mutton noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Students |
Mutton |
30% |
Hotdog |
5% |
Chicken |
35% |
Egg |
30% |
Number of students who chose hotdog noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose hotdog noodle sets = 15
5% of students = 15
1% of students = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Percent of students who chose chicken noodle sets = 35%
Percent of students who chose mutton noodle sets = 30%
Percent of students who chose chicken and mutton noodle sets
= 35% + 30%
= 65%
Total number of students who chose hotdog and egg noodle sets
= 65 x 3
= 195
Answer(s): 195
