PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one sandwich from mutton, tuna, turkey and vegetarian. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the sandwiches were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose turkey and mutton sandwiches?
Sandwiches |
Students |
Mutton |
25% |
Tuna |
20% |
Turkey |
5% |
Vegetarian |
50% |
Number of students who chose turkey sandwiches is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose turkey sandwiches = 20
5% of students = 20
1% of students = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of students who chose mutton sandwiches = 25%
Percent of students who chose tuna sandwiches = 20%
Percent of students who chose mutton and tuna sandwiches
= 25% + 20%
= 45%
Total number of students who chose turkey and mutton sandwiches
= 45 x 4
= 180
Answer(s): 180
