To determine how many eighth graders took the survey, we need to look at the numbers provided in the table. The numbers listed for the eighth graders are 54 and 81.
Typically, in this context, the first number (54) would represent the number of eighth graders who prefer tacos, while the second number (81) would represent those who prefer pizza.
To find the total number of eighth graders surveyed, we add the two numbers together:
54 (prefer tacos) + 81 (prefer pizza) = 135
Therefore, 135 eighth graders took the survey.
The correct answer is:
- 135
