To determine the total number of 8th graders using the two-way table, let's fill in the missing values based on the information we have:

  1. We know that on Friday, there are 24 7th graders and a total attendance of 52 on that day.
  2. We can calculate the number of 8th graders attending on Friday: \[ \text{8th graders on Friday} = \text{Total on Friday} - \text{7th graders on Friday} = 52 - 24 = 28 \]

So, the number of 8th graders on Friday is 28.

  1. On Saturday, we have 35 8th graders, which is given in the table.

Now, we can total the number of 8th graders: \[ \text{Total 8th graders} = \text{8th graders on Friday} + \text{8th graders on Saturday} = 28 + 35 = 63 \]

Thus, the total number of 8th graders is 63.

The correct response is: 63
