Add all the numbers together to find the total amount of college students surveyed.
355 + 292 + 280 + 191 + 198 + 136 + 66 + 24 = 1,542
The number is already simplified considering it's a whole number. The answer is either 1,542 or 1,500
<em>(I say either because when it says to simplify I'm not sure if they want it to be rounded.)</em>
