To find the total number of eighth graders who took the survey, we can add the number of eighth graders who prefer pizza and those who prefer tacos.

From the table:

  • Eighth graders who prefer pizza: 54
  • Eighth graders who prefer tacos: 81

Now, we add these two numbers:

54 (pizza) + 81 (tacos) = 135

So, the total number of eighth graders who took the survey is 135.

The correct answer is 135.
