To find the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas, we need to look at the table. The information provided tells us that the total number of seventh graders is 120, and the total number of eighth graders who prefer bananas is 35.
These numbers indicate that the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas can be calculated by subtracting the total number of eighth graders who prefer bananas (35) from the total number of students who prefer bananas (71).
Total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas = Total number of students who prefer bananas - Total number of eighth graders who prefer bananas
Total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas = 71 - 35
Total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas = 36
Therefore, the correct answer is:
