Use the table to answer the question.
Friday Saturday Totals
7th graders 24
8th graders 35
Totals 52
Construct the two-way table to determine the total number of eighth graders.
To determine the total number of eighth graders, we need to add up the number of eighth graders on Friday and Saturday.
Friday: 35
Saturday: 35
Adding them together:
35 + 35 = 70
There are a total of 70 eighth graders.
Incorrect. The answer choices are
A 59
B 28
C 63
D 35
To determine the total number of eighth graders, we need to look at the table information and calculate the total number of eighth graders.
From the table:
- Friday: 7th graders = 24
- Saturday: 8th graders = 35
- Total on Friday = 52
- Total on Saturday = 52
To find the total number of eighth graders:
Total 8th graders = Total on Saturday - 8th graders on Friday
Total 8th graders = 52 - 35
Total 8th graders = 17
Therefore, the total number of eighth graders is 35 + 17 = 52.
The correct answer should be D 35.
