PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one taco from chicken, mutton, vegetarian and egg. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the tacos were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose vegetarian and chicken tacos?
Tacos |
Students |
Chicken |
20% |
Mutton |
5% |
Vegetarian |
35% |
Egg |
40% |
Number of students who chose mutton tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose mutton tacos = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose vegetarian tacos = 35%
Percent of students who chose chicken tacos = 20%
Percent of students who chose vegetarian and chicken tacos
= 35% + 20%
= 55%
Total number of students who chose mutton and egg tacos
= 55 x 2
= 110
Answer(s): 110
