We would add the total responses recorded in the Girls row, which is equal to 32. We would then subtract it from the total of that row, 38. 38 - 32 is equal to 6. 6 girls chose their answer as English. We can check our work by adding the responses to see if they added up to the total. Now we move to the boys. The Maths column is 5. The boys row is missing 2 things - english and total. We can find the total by subtracting 38 from 70. This is equal to 32. Now, we can add 7 and 5 (12) and subtract from the row total (32). This is equal to 20. 20 boys chose English.
Now we add the girls and boys. 6 + 20 is equal to 26. 26 is your answer.
