Looking at the zoomed-in view of the whipped cream tally marks, I can clearly see:
- 3 complete groups of 5 tally marks each (each group has 4 vertical lines crossed by a diagonal line)
- Plus 1 additional vertical tally mark
So the total is 3 × 5 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16.
This confirms my initial count for whipped cream.
Now I have all the counts:
- Hot fudge: 24
- Caramel: 13
- Whipped cream: 16
To answer the questions:
- Which topping was favored most? Hot fudge with 24 votes (highest number)
- Which topping was favored least? Caramel with 13 votes (lowest number)
The solution is complete. I've counted all the tally marks accurately and determined which topping was favored most and least based on the vote counts.
