Solution
The number of articles of different materials is depicted (represented) by the following table
| Material used | Articles | Number of articles |
| Wood | |
20 + 10 = 30 |
| Glass | |
20 |
| Metal | |
20 + 20 + 10 = 50 |
| Rubber | |
20 + 5 = 25 |
| Plastic | |
20 + 15 = 35 |
- Metal is used in the maximum number of articles.
- Glass is used in the minimum number of articles.
- From the pictograph, we observe that 50 articles were made of metal whereas 25 articles were made of rubber, which is exactly half the number of articles as those made up of metal.
- Total number of articles = Articles made of (wood + glass + metal + rubber + plastic)
= 30 + 20 + 50 + 25 + 35
= 160
