Answer 1

Answer: There are 198 different combinations.

Explanation:

To solve this type of problem, first, we need to identify the selections.

We have 3 selections.

Baby doll, Jigsaw puzzle, and a stuffed dog.

Now, we need to count the numbers of options for each case:

Baby doll: 11 options.

Jigsaw Puzzle: 6 options.

Stuffed dog: 3 options.

To find the total number of different combinations, we need to multiply all the numbers of options together, this is:
