The closest number of juniors and seniors who were inducted is 69.

Explanation:

At Lincoln High School, approximately 7% of enrolled juniors and 5% of enrolled seniors were inducted into the National Honor Society last year.

There were 562 juniors and 602 seniors enrolled at Lincoln High School last year.

We will calculate the number of students as:

`0.07(562)+0.05(602)`

=
`39.34+30.1`

= 69.44

Therefore, the closest number of juniors and seniors who were inducted is 69.
