86

Answer 1

To find the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas, we need to look at the table.

From the table:
Seventh graders who prefer bananas = Total number of seventh graders - Total number of seventh graders who prefer apples - Total number of seventh graders who prefer oranges
Seventh graders who prefer bananas = 72 - 44 - 120 = 8

Therefore, the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas is 8.
