Answer 1

To find out how many boys chose soccer or football as their favorite sport, we can look at the numbers in the boys' row of the table:

• Boys who chose soccer: 54
• Boys who chose football: 71

Now, we can add these two numbers together:

\[ 54 + 71 = 125 \]

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