Calculate pets for students with 1 pet: First, multiply the number of students by the number of pets they each have.So, for students with 1 pet: 218 students ×1 pet/student = 218 pets.
Calculate pets for students with 2 pets: Next, do the same for students with 2 pets: 167 students ×2 pets/student =334 pets.
Calculate pets for students with 3 pets: Then, for students with 3 pets: 287 students ∗3 pets/student =861 pets.
Calculate pets for students with 4 pets: Finally, for students with 4 pets: 138 students ×4 pets/student =552 pets.
Add up total number of pets: Now, add up all the pets from each group to get the total. 218 pets + 334 pets + 861 pets + 552 pets = 1965 pets.
