b. 69
c. 25
d. 86

Answer 1

To find the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas, we need to first calculate the total number of seventh graders.

Total number of seventh graders = 120

Now, we know that the total number of seventh graders in the row is 120.

Using the information that the total number of seventh graders who prefer apples is 44, we can calculate the number of seventh graders who prefer bananas:

120 - 44 (apples) = 76

So, the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas is 76.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

d. 86
