To find the total number of students who participated in the survey, we can use the data provided in the table.

  1. We know that the total number of Seventh Grade students is 263.
  2. The total number of Eighth Grade students is 275.

To calculate the total number of students surveyed, we can add the total number of Seventh Grade and Eighth Grade students:

\[ \text{Total Students} = \text{Total Seventh Grade} + \text{Total Eighth Grade} = 263 + 275 = 538 \]

Therefore, the total number of students who participated in the survey is 538.
