Answer 1

To find the total amount of people who like tacos, you can look at the entries in the column for tacos in the two-way table.

From the table:

• 7th graders who like tacos: (not given)
• 8th graders who like tacos: 35

To find the total who like tacos, you need to add the number of 7th graders who like tacos to the number of 8th graders who like tacos. Since the total number of people who like tacos is given as 71 in the table, you can directly see that:

The total amount of people who like tacos is 71.

The correct response is 71.
