A bar graph illustration shows a horizontal axis with the terms green, pink, and purple. The vertical axis is labeled Percentage and ranges from 0 to 50 in increments of 10. On the horizontal axis, the bar value for green is 20 percent, the bar value for pink is 30 percent, and the bar value for purple is 50 percent.

To find out how many of Kamla's neighbors chose pink as their favorite color, we can use the percentage given in the bar graph. The bar for pink shows 30 percent.
Since Kamla asked 20 neighbors, we can calculate the number who chose pink by taking 30 percent of 20.
Calculating this:
\[ \text{Number of neighbors who chose pink} = \frac{30}{100} \times 20 = 6 \]
So, 6 of Kamla’s neighbors chose pink as their favorite color.
