A.) 150
B.) 25
C.) 15
D.) 140

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The number of different combinations is the number of different type of each items multiplied together.

To select bundles of "backpack", "binder", "pencil", & "notebook", we see how many different type of each are there and just multiply them. Hence:

"There are 5 types of backpacks, 5 types of binders, 3 types of pencils, and 2 types of notebook paper"

So, 5 * 5 * 3 * 2 = 150

The correct answer is A
