Turkey |
5% |
Egg |
50% |
Number of pupils who chose turkey tacos is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of pupils who chose turkey tacos = 20
5% of pupils = 20
1% of pupils = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Percent of pupils who chose tuna tacos = 35%
Percent of pupils who chose chicken tacos = 10%
Percent of pupils who chose tuna and chicken tacos
= 35% + 10%
= 45%
Total number of pupils who chose turkey and tuna tacos
= 45 x 4
= 180
Answer(s): 180
