Answer 2

Question:

a. Twenty-three ninth graders and fifteen eleventh graders prefer math.

b. Fourteen eleventh graders prefer math and eight tenth graders prefer English.

c. Thirty-five twelfth graders prefer math and nine tenth graders prefer English.

d. Twenty-three ninth graders and thirty-five twelfth graders prefer math.

e. Eighteen tenth graders prefer English and fourteen eleventh graders prefer math.

Answer:

Therefore, the correct options are;

b. and d.

Explanation:

Here we have a table with blank boxes and totals from which we can fill the boxes;

For the 12th graders, we have a total of 67 pupils with 32 preferring English, therefore the number of the 12th graders that prefer math is 67 - 32 = 35 pupils

Similarly for the 11th graders we have total pupils = 29 with 15 preferring English, therefore the number of the 11th graders that prefer math is 29 - 15 = 14 pupils

Also for the 10th graders we have total pupils = 26 with 18 preferring math, therefore the number of the 11th graders that prefer English is 26 - 18 = 8 pupils

Finally for the 9th graders, we have a total of 63 pupils with 40 preferring English, therefore the number of the 9th graders that prefer math is 63 - 40 = 23 pupils

From the above, the correct option is
