To determine how many eighth graders took the survey, we need to add the number of eighth graders who preferred pizza to the number who preferred tacos.

From the table:

  • Number of 8th graders who prefer pizza = 54
  • Number of 8th graders who prefer tacos = 81

Now, we add these two numbers together:

54 + 81 = 135

Therefore, the total number of eighth graders who took the survey is 135.

The correct response is 135.
