To find the total number of 8th graders based on the two-way table, we can fill in the missing values systematically.

From the table, we can see:

  • The total attendance on Friday is 52.
  • The total number of attendees on Saturday is missing.

We also know that:

  • 7th graders on Friday: 24
  • 8th graders on Saturday: 35

To find out how many 8th graders attended on Friday, we can subtract the number of 7th graders from the total for Friday:

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

Now we can summarize the values in the table as follows:

  • 7th graders on Friday: 24
  • 7th graders on Saturday: This value is not provided in the question.
  • 8th graders on Friday: 28
  • 8th graders on Saturday: 35

Next, to find the total number of 8th graders, we add the number of 8th graders from Friday and Saturday:

28 (Friday) + 35 (Saturday) = 63

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

Based on the options available, the correct response is: 63.
