PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one rice set from mutton, egg, tuna and hotdog. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the rice sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose mutton and tuna rice sets?
Rice Sets |
Students |
Mutton |
5% |
Egg |
40% |
Tuna |
35% |
Hotdog |
20% |
Number of students who chose mutton rice sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose mutton rice sets = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose mutton rice sets = 5%
Percent of students who chose tuna rice sets = 35%
Percent of students who chose mutton and tuna rice sets
= 5% + 35%
= 40%
Total number of students who chose mutton and tuna rice sets
= 40 x 2
= 80
Answer(s): 80
