PSLE A group of pupils was asked to choose one burger from tuna, beef, egg 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 egg and tuna burgers?
Burgers |
Pupils |
Tuna |
25% |
Beef |
30% |
Egg |
10% |
Hotdog |
35% |
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 = 40
10% of pupils = 40
1% of pupils = 40 ÷ 10 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose tuna burgers = 25%
Percent of pupils who chose beef burgers = 30%
Percent of pupils who chose tuna and beef burgers
= 25% + 30%
= 55%
Total number of pupils who chose egg and tuna burgers
= 55 x 4
= 220
Answer(s): 220
