Explanation:

Step1: Count students for each category

Count the number of 'X's for \(0\), \(1\), and \(2\) pairs of boots.
For \(0\) pairs: \(10\) 'X's.
For \(1\) pair: \(5\) 'X's.
For \(2\) pairs: \(7\) 'X's.

Step2: Sum the counts

Add the number of students for \(0\), \(1\), and \(2\) pairs: \(10 + 5+7\).

$$10 + 5+7=22$$

Answer:

\(22\)
