PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one spaghetti set from egg, hotdog, chicken and mutton. 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 egg spaghetti sets?
Spaghetti Sets |
Students |
Egg |
30% |
Hotdog |
20% |
Chicken |
15% |
Mutton |
35% |
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 = 30
15% of students = 30
1% of students = 30 ÷ 15 = 2
Percent of students who chose egg spaghetti sets = 30%
Percent of students who chose hotdog spaghetti sets = 20%
Percent of students who chose egg and hotdog spaghetti sets
= 30% + 20%
= 50%
Total number of students who chose chicken and egg spaghetti sets
= 50 x 2
= 100
Answer(s): 100
