Answer:

45 possible combinations

Explanation:

since there are 5 options of flavour (chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cookies 'n' cream, and peanut butter) then you must multiply your flavours by your next option.

the size options come in 3 options (small, medium, and large) therefore we multiply the flavours (5) by sizes (3)

5 * 3 = 15

then multiply the result (15) by the cup options (3)

15 * 3 = 45

your answer is 45

hope this helps:)
