The Borda count assigns points based on the position of each choice in the voters' rankings. For each first choice, a location gets 2 points, for each second choice 1 point, and for each third choice 0 points. Calculating the total points for each location:- Alder River (A): $6 \times 2 + 15 \times 1 + 12 \times 0 = 12 + 15 = 27$- Boulder Pond (B): $15 \times 2 + 6 \times 1 + 11 \times 0 = 30 + 6 = 36$- Collie Creek (C): $12 \times 2 + 11 \times 1 + 6 \times 0 = 24 + 11 = 35$Boulder Pond (B) has the highest total points (36), so it is chosen.
