It is given that there are a total of 101 students in grade eight.

61 students are in the band, the rest are in general music. Of the students in the band, 46 like pineapple pizza. 62 eighth-grade students like pineapple pizza.

It is required to construct a two-way table with the given information.

Since there are 101 students and 61 of them are in the band. The rest are said to be in general music.

Hence, the number of students in general music is:


101-61=40

It is given that 46 students in the band like pineapple pizza. Since 61 students are in the band, the number of students in the band who don't like pineapple pizza is:


61-46=15

It is given that 62 eighth-grade students like pineapple pizza. Since 46 of these are in the band, the number of students in general music who like pineapple pizza is:


62-46=16

The number of students in general music is 40. Since 16 of them like pineapple pizza, the number of students who don't like pineapple pizza in general music is:


40-16=24

Complete the table with the calculated results:

Calculate the totals and fill them in the table:
