Answer 1

Renting a vehicle when there are 5 cars, 3 vans, and 10 sports utility vehicles available

Explanation:

Creating a stuffed animal when there are 6 animals, 3 fur colors, and 12 clothing themes available

This condition requires multiplication or factorials to determine outcomes

Renting a vehicle when there are 5 cars, 3 vans, and 10 sports utility vehicles available

This situation requires the addition counting principle to determine the number of possible outcomes as there is only one car to be picked so all the numbers 10+5+3 = 18 will be added to get the possible outcomes ..
