Pick a cell where you want the total to display and double click it.

Type "=count" and a smaller menu with a few options will show. Double click "COUNTIF" from the menu.

Click and drag to select the cells that you want to search for values.

Type a comma behind the cell range, followed by an opening quote, followed by the value you want to search for, then a closing quote and press the ENTER key.
