To find the total amount of people who like tacos, we need to sum the number of 7th graders who like tacos and the number of 8th graders who like tacos.
From the table:
- The number of 7th graders who like tacos is not provided, but we can deduce it from the total for 7th graders (120) and the totals for the different foods.
- The number of 8th graders who like tacos is given as 35.
To find the number of 7th graders who like tacos, we can calculate it as follows:
- Total 7th graders = 120
- Total for Pizza from 7th graders = 24
- Total for Chicken from 7th graders = 71 (from the Total row of Chicken)
Using the total equation for 7th graders:
Total = Pizza + Tacos + Chicken
120 = 24 + (number of 7th graders who like tacos) + 71
Now, substituting known values:
120 = 24 + Tacos + 71
Tacos = 120 - (24 + 71)
Tacos = 120 - 95
Tacos = 25
Now, we can find the total number of students who like tacos:
- 7th graders who like tacos = 25
- 8th graders who like tacos = 35
Total number of students who like tacos = 25 + 35 = 60.
So the correct answer would not be 109, but rather 60.
