PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one taco from egg, tuna, turkey 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 turkey and egg tacos?
Tacos |
Pupils |
Egg |
20% |
Tuna |
15% |
Turkey |
45% |
Vegetarian |
20% |
Number of pupils who chose tuna tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose tuna tacos = 60
15% of pupils = 60
1% of pupils = 60 ÷ 15 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose turkey tacos = 45%
Percent of pupils who chose egg tacos = 20%
Percent of pupils who chose turkey and egg tacos
= 45% + 20%
= 65%
Total number of pupils who chose tuna and vegetarian tacos
= 65 x 4
= 260
Answer(s): 260
