Solution

The correct option is B 20
Say: Let's read the table and identify the total votes.
Steps:
- We know that - So, the number of votes each pet got are:
Cat = 10
Dog = 4
Hamster = 6
- To find the total votes, we will add the number of votes each pet received.
- So, 10 + 4 + 6 = 20.
- Therefore, 20 votes were collected in all.
- Hence, option B is the answer.

WB: If required, use the whiteboard to find the number of votes given to each pet and the total number of votes received as shown.
