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 = 30
10% of pupils = 30
1% of pupils = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Percent of pupils who chose beef burgers = 10%
Percent of pupils who chose tuna burgers = 50%
Percent of pupils who chose beef and tuna burgers
= 10% + 50%
= 60%
Total number of pupils who chose beef and tuna burgers
= 60 x 3
= 180
Answer(s): 180
