Explanation:

Question 1: Complete the tally chart (Toys on the Shelf - Total for each toy)

Step 1: Calculate total for bus

A single tally mark represents 1. So for bus, total is $1$.

Step 2: Calculate total for car

A group of 5 tally marks (||||) and then 4 more. So $5 + 4 = 9$.

Step 3: Calculate total for truck

A group of 5 tally marks and then 1 more. So $5 + 1 = 6$.

Step 1: Analyze car's tally

Car has a group of 5 (||||) and 4 more tally marks.

Step 2: Sum the tally marks

$5 + 4 = 9$.

Step 1: Find number of buses

Bus has 1 tally mark, so count is $1$.

Step 2: Find number of trucks

Truck has $5 + 1 = 6$ tally marks.

Step 3: Sum the counts

$1 + 6 = 7$.

Answer:

• Bus: $1$
• Car: $9$
• Truck: $6$

Question 2: How many cars are there?
