PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one noodle set from tuna, turkey, vegetarian and mutton. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the noodle sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose vegetarian and tuna noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Students |
Tuna |
50% |
Turkey |
15% |
Vegetarian |
10% |
Mutton |
25% |
Number of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets = 30
10% of students = 30
1% of students = 30 ÷ 10 = 3
Percent of students who chose tuna noodle sets = 50%
Percent of students who chose turkey noodle sets = 15%
Percent of students who chose tuna and turkey noodle sets
= 50% + 15%
= 65%
Total number of students who chose vegetarian and tuna noodle sets
= 65 x 3
= 195
Answer(s): 195
