PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one spaghetti set from mutton, chicken, turkey and beef. 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 mutton and turkey spaghetti sets?
Spaghetti Sets |
Students |
Mutton |
5% |
Chicken |
15% |
Turkey |
30% |
Beef |
50% |
Number of students who chose mutton spaghetti sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose mutton spaghetti sets = 15
5% of students = 15
1% of students = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Percent of students who chose mutton spaghetti sets = 5%
Percent of students who chose turkey spaghetti sets = 30%
Percent of students who chose mutton and turkey spaghetti sets
= 5% + 30%
= 35%
Total number of students who chose mutton and turkey spaghetti sets
= 35 x 3
= 105
Answer(s): 105
