PSLE A group of students was asked to choose one noodle set from vegetarian, tuna, chicken and mutton. The table represents the students' choices. The students' choices were also represented by a bar graph but the names of the noodle sets were not shown. What was the total number of students who chose chicken and vegetarian noodle sets?
Noodle Sets |
Students |
Vegetarian |
75% |
Tuna |
5% |
Chicken |
10% |
Mutton |
10% |
Number of students who chose tuna noodle sets is the least. So it is represented by the shortest bar.
Number of students who chose tuna noodle sets = 10
5% of students = 10
1% of students = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
Percent of students who chose chicken noodle sets = 10%
Percent of students who chose vegetarian noodle sets = 75%
Percent of students who chose chicken and vegetarian noodle sets
= 10% + 75%
= 85%
Total number of students who chose tuna and mutton noodle sets
= 85 x 2
= 170
Answer(s): 170
