finding seashells
how many people found fewer than 4 seashells?
people

Explanation:

Step1: Count people for each category

Count the number of 'X's for \(0\), \(1\), \(2\), \(3\) seashells.
For \(0\) seashells: \(4\) 'X's.
For \(1\) seashells: \(3\) 'X's.
For \(2\) seashells: \(7\) 'X's.
For \(3\) seashells: \(10\) 'X's.

Step2: Sum the counts

Add the counts together: \(4 + 3+7 + 10\).
\(4+3 = 7\), \(7+7=14\), \(14 + 10=24\).

Answer:

\(24\)
