To find out how many boys chose soccer or football as their favorite sport, we can add the number of boys who selected soccer and the number of boys who selected football.

From the table:

  • Boys who chose soccer: 54
  • Boys who chose football: 71

Now, we add these numbers together:

\[ 54 + 71 = 125 \]

Therefore, the number of boys who chose soccer or football as their favorite sport is 125.
