A pictogram uses 1 square to represent 3 chocolates. The pictogram shows 5 squares for Class A, 2 squares for Class B, and 4 squares for Class C. How many chocolates are there in total across all three classes?
Answer
33
The correct answer is 33 — Hence, the total number of chocolates is 33.
Step-by-step solution
- There are 5+2+4=11 squares in the pictogram.
- Each square represents 3 chocolates, so multiply 11 by 3.
- 11 × 3 = 33 chocolates.
- Hence, the total number of chocolates is 33.
Common mistake: Adding the squares before multiplying, or forgetting to multiply by 3.
