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

From the table:

  • Number of boys who chose soccer = 54
  • Number of boys who chose football = 71

Now, we can add these numbers together:

54 (soccer) + 71 (football) = 125

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