PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one spaghetti set from tuna, turkey, chicken and vegetarian. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the spaghetti sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose chicken and tuna spaghetti sets?
Spaghetti Sets |
Students |
Tuna |
50% |
Turkey |
15% |
Chicken |
5% |
Vegetarian |
30% |
Number of students who chose chicken spaghetti sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose chicken spaghetti sets = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose tuna spaghetti sets = 50%
Percent of students who chose turkey spaghetti sets = 15%
Percent of students who chose tuna and turkey spaghetti sets
= 50% + 15%
= 65%
Total number of students who chose chicken and tuna spaghetti sets
= 65 x 4
= 260
Answer(s): 260
