PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one rice set from tuna, turkey, vegetarian and egg. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the rice sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose vegetarian and tuna rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Students |
Tuna |
30% |
Turkey |
15% |
Vegetarian |
5% |
Egg |
50% |
Number of students who chose vegetarian rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose vegetarian rice sets = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose tuna rice sets = 30%
Percent of students who chose turkey rice sets = 15%
Percent of students who chose tuna and turkey rice sets
= 30% + 15%
= 45%
Total number of students who chose vegetarian and tuna rice sets
= 45 x 4
= 180
Answer(s): 180
