The total number of seventh graders in the table is 120. The number of seventh graders who prefer apples is 44, and the number of seventh graders who prefer oranges is therefore 120 - 44 = 76. Since the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas is the total number of seventh graders minus those who prefer apples or oranges, the number of seventh graders who prefer bananas is 120 - 76 = 44.

So the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas is 44.
