(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Easy of Mathematics

João's school decided to conduct a survey to find out the favorite ice cream flavor of the 3rd grade students. They interviewed the three classes and recorded the results in separate tables, where each class had a different number of students. The tables show the number of votes for each flavor: strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, and lemon. After collecting the data, the school wants to know which ice cream flavor is the most popular among all 3rd grade students. To help the school, João decided to add up the number of votes from all tables, but he noticed that the tables were not organized in the same order. He identified the following vote quantities for each flavor: 35 votes for strawberry, 42 votes for chocolate, 28 votes for vanilla, and 21 votes for lemon. Based on this information, how can João identify the most popular ice cream flavor among the 3rd grade students, and what is the total number of votes he should consider to make that decision?
