Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking for
all occurrences of the letter A — both uppercase (
A) and lowercase (
a) — inside the apple drawing.
We’ll go circle by circle, left to right, top to bottom, and check each one.
Here’s what we find:
1. Top row (left to right):
- “k” → not A
- “l” → not A
2. Second row:
- “a” → YES! (lowercase a)
- “h” → no
- “A” → YES! (uppercase A)
- “a” → YES! (lowercase a)
3. Third row:
- “h” → no
- “A” → YES! (uppercase A)
- “i” → no
- “m” → no
- “A” → YES! (uppercase A)
4. Fourth row:
- “g” → no
- “O” → no
- “z” → no
- “a” → YES! (lowercase a)
- “A” → YES! (uppercase A)
- “c” → no
5. Fifth row:
- “a” → YES! (lowercase a)
- “f” → no
- “z” → no
6. Bottom row:
- “A” → YES! (uppercase A)
- “B” → no
Now let’s count how many we found:
Lowercase “a”:
- Row 2: first circle → 1
- Row 2: fourth circle → 2
- Row 4: fourth circle → 3
- Row 5: first circle → 4
Uppercase “A”:
- Row 2: third circle → 1
- Row 3: second circle → 2
- Row 3: fifth circle → 3
- Row 4: fifth circle → 4
- Row 6: first circle → 5
Total = 4 (lowercase) + 5 (uppercase) =
9
Final Answer:
9
