Question

The given pictograph shows the number of students in three different schools.

What are the total number of students in all the schools combined?

• A. 6,000
• B. 8,000
• C. 10,000
• D. 12,000

Answer 1

The correct option is D 12,000

Each smiling face represents 600 students.

There are 8 smiling faces in Alpha school.
So,
Number of students in Alpha school
= 600 $\times$ 8 = 4,800 students.

There are 5 smiling faces in Beta school.
So,
Number of students in Beta school
= 600 $\times$ 5 = 3,000 students.

There are 7 smiling faces in Gamma school.
So,
Number of students in Gamma school
= 600 $\times$ 7 = 4,200 students.

Total number of students in all the three schools together = 4,800 + 3,000 + 4,200 = 12,000
