PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one noodle set from egg, vegetarian, hotdog and beef. 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 hotdog and egg noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Students |
Egg |
25% |
Vegetarian |
5% |
Hotdog |
20% |
Beef |
50% |
Number of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose hotdog noodle sets = 20%
Percent of students who chose egg noodle sets = 25%
Percent of students who chose hotdog and egg noodle sets
= 20% + 25%
= 45%
Total number of students who chose vegetarian and beef noodle sets
= 45 x 4
= 180
Answer(s): 180
