To find the total amount of people who like tacos, we need to look at the given two-way table.
From the table:
- 7th graders who like tacos: Unknown (let's call it \(x\))
- 8th graders who like tacos: 35
We also know from the total row that:
- Total who like tacos (7th graders + 8th graders) = Total Tacos = 71
So we can set up the equation:
\[
x + 35 = 71
\]
To solve for \(x\):
\[
x = 71 - 35 \\
x = 36
\]
Now, adding the number of 7th and 8th graders who like tacos:
\[
Total\ who\ like\ tacos = 36 + 35 = 71
\]
Thus, the total amount of people who like tacos is **71**.
The correct response is **71**.
