To find the total number of people who answered the survey, we need to sum all the values from the table including the information from both grades.
From the table:
- The total number of 7th graders who responded is 44 (Apples) + 0 (Bananas) + 76 (Oranges from the total) = 120.
- The total number of 8th graders who responded is 0 (Apples) + 35 (Bananas) + 46 (Oranges) = 81.
To calculate the total number of respondents:
7th graders:
- Apples: 44
- Bananas: 0
- Oranges: 76 (calculated from Totals)
Total 7th graders: 44 + 0 + 76 = 120
8th graders:
- Apples: 0
- Bananas: 35
- Oranges: 46
Total 8th graders: 0 + 35 + 46 = 81
Now, adding the total number of 7th graders and 8th graders to find the overall total:
120 (7th graders) + 81 (8th graders) = 201.
However, based on the provided options, none match that number but here’s the overall breakdown:
- 7th graders total: 120
- 8th graders total: 81
- Grand total: 120 + 81 = 201.
It seems there is a discrepancy in the provided table to the answer options given. Please verify the data in the table. The closest answer that reflects a misunderstanding of the totals seems to be 229 if you're including some other data or potentially rounding errors in the questions based on the percentages that could align with the total preferences but usually should be 201 total individuals.
