PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one noodle set from egg, hotdog, chicken and turkey. The table represents the pupils' choices. The pupils' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the noodle sets were not shown. What was the total number of pupils who chose chicken and egg noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Pupils |
Egg |
35% |
Hotdog |
5% |
Chicken |
50% |
Turkey |
10% |
Number of pupils who chose hotdog noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose hotdog noodle sets = 20
5% of pupils = 20
1% of pupils = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose chicken noodle sets = 50%
Percent of pupils who chose egg noodle sets = 35%
Percent of pupils who chose chicken and egg noodle sets
= 50% + 35%
= 85%
Total number of pupils who chose hotdog and turkey noodle sets
= 85 x 4
= 340
Answer(s): 340
