To complete the table, we need to fill in the totals for each instrument type. Let's assume the following data:

Band I has 20 students playing brass instruments, 15 students playing woodwind instruments, 10 students playing percussion instruments, and 5 students playing string instruments.
Band II has 15 students playing brass instruments, 20 students playing woodwind instruments, 12 students playing percussion instruments, and 8 students playing string instruments.

Instrument Type	Band I	Band II	Total
Brass	20	15	35
Woodwind	15	20	35
Percussion	10	12	22
String	5	8	13

Calculating Totals

Band I has a total of 20 + 15 + 10 + 5 = 50 students.
Band II has a total of 15 + 20 + 12 + 8 = 55 students.
