How to count all attributes from another layer based on intersection.

I have two layers. The first is the BUFFER layer and the second is the POLYGONS layer. How can I sum the value of "number_places" on the POLYGONS layer to each of the buffers based on if they overlap.
In the example below, the idea is to, for the buffer on the left, sum the value of the "number_places" attribute for the polygons that intersect with the left buffer.

As the result i would like to have name of the buffer and summarize amount of places from polygons that overlap with that buffer.

I managed to create points in the polygons based on attribute amount_of_places. Now I just need to count the number of points for each buffer. I don't quite know how to do this.

Maybe look at this tool: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/analysis/summarize-within.htm

It can also summarize polygon area, which could then be counted.
