To find the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas, you need to look at the first row of the table, which contains the totals for seventh graders. The total number of seventh graders is 44, and the total number of apples preferred by seventh graders is 120. So, you need to subtract the number of apples preferred by seventh graders from the total number of seventh graders to find the number of seventh graders who prefer bananas.
44 - 120 = -76
Since the number of seventh graders who prefer bananas cannot be negative, it means that there must have been an error in the given data or the calculation. Please check the data and recalculate the answer.

7th graders 44 120
