To fill in the two-way table, we need to determine the total number of 8th graders attending.

From the table, we know:

  • Total attendance on Friday = 52
  • 7th graders on Friday = 24
  • 8th graders on Friday = (Total Friday - 7th graders on Friday)

We calculate the 8th graders on Friday:

  • Total Friday = 52
  • 7th graders on Friday = 24
  • 8th graders on Friday = 52 - 24 = 28

Now let's summarize the information we have:

| | Friday | Saturday | Totals | |-------------|--------|----------|--------| | 7th graders | 24 | | | | 8th graders | 28 | 35 | | | Totals | 52 | | |

Next, we calculate the total for 8th graders:

  • 8th graders = 28 (Friday) + 35 (Saturday) = 63

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

The correct answer is:

63
