$\text{ (A) }\ 54 \qquad\text{ (B) }\ 8 \qquad\text{ (C) }\ 12 \qquad\text{ (D) }\ 58 \qquad\text{ (E) }\ 46$

Solution

We can simply look at the bar graph/chart to see how many points each person got, and then add everything up.

Daniel got $7$ points, Curtis got $8$ , Sid got $2$ , Emily got $11$ , Kalyn got $6$ , Hyojeong got $12$ , Ty got $1$ , and Winston got $7$ .

We can now find the total:

$7 + 8 + 2 + 11 + 6 + 12 + 1 + 7 = 15 + 13 + 18 + 8$

$=28 + 26 = \boxed {\textbf {(A) } 54}$
