PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one noodle set from tuna, turkey, beef and chicken. 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 beef and tuna noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Students |
Tuna |
40% |
Turkey |
15% |
Beef |
20% |
Chicken |
25% |
Number of students who chose turkey noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose turkey noodle sets = 30
15% of students = 30
1% of students = 30 ÷ 15 = 2
Percent of students who chose beef noodle sets = 20%
Percent of students who chose tuna noodle sets = 40%
Percent of students who chose beef and tuna noodle sets
= 20% + 40%
= 60%
Total number of students who chose turkey and chicken noodle sets
= 60 x 2
= 120
Answer(s): 120
