To find the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas, we need to look at the data in the table.
From the table, we can see that the total number of seventh graders is 120, and the number of eighth graders who prefer bananas is 35.
To find the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas, we need to subtract the number of eighth graders who prefer bananas from the total number of seventh graders:
Total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas = Total number of seventh graders - Number of eighth graders who prefer bananas
Total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas = 120 - 35
Total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas = 85
Therefore, the total number of seventh graders who prefer bananas is 85.
Answer: 85.
