PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one burger from chicken, egg, tuna and hotdog. The table represents the pupils' choices. The pupils' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the burgers were not shown. What was the total number of pupils who chose tuna and chicken burgers?
Burgers |
Pupils |
Chicken |
75% |
Egg |
5% |
Tuna |
10% |
Hotdog |
10% |
Number of pupils who chose egg burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose egg burgers = 15
5% of pupils = 15
1% of pupils = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Percent of pupils who chose tuna burgers = 10%
Percent of pupils who chose chicken burgers = 75%
Percent of pupils who chose tuna and chicken burgers
= 10% + 75%
= 85%
Total number of pupils who chose egg and hotdog burgers
= 85 x 3
= 255
Answer(s): 255
