Explanation:

Step1: Count for stem 0

Stem 0 has leaves 0,2,3,7,9. All these values are ≤8. So count is 5.

Step2: Count for stem 1

Stem 1 has leaves 2,4,6,7,8. All these values are ≤8. So count is 5.

Step3: Count for stem 2

Stem 2 has leaves 3,8,9. Only 3 and 8 are ≤8 (9>8). So count is 2.

Step4: Sum the counts

Add the counts: \(5 + 5 + 2 = 12\).

Answer:

12
