Pupils |
Beef |
10% |
Egg |
15% |
Tuna |
30% |
Mutton |
45% |
Number of pupils who chose beef burgers is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose beef burgers = 40
10% of pupils = 40
1% of pupils = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose beef burgers = 10%
Percent of pupils who chose tuna burgers = 30%
Percent of pupils who chose beef and tuna burgers
= 10% + 30%
= 40%
Total number of pupils who chose beef and tuna burgers
= 40 x 4
= 160
Answer(s): 160
