Answer 1

To find the total number of girls surveyed, we need to sum the number of girls participating in each extracurricular activity:

• Marching Band: 21 girls
• Basketball: 17 girls
• Soccer: 11 girls

Now we add these numbers together:

\[ 21 + 17 + 11 = 49 \]

Therefore, the total number of girls surveyed is 49 girls.
