Question

At the sandwich shop, there is a sale each afternoon. A customer has a choice of

three types of bread and five different meats. Use the Fundamental Counting
Principle to determine how many combinations a customer can create ?

Answer 1

15 combinations

Explanation:

The fundamental counting principle states that if there are p ways to do one thing, and q ways to do another thing, then there are p×q ways to do both things. This means we need to multiply 3 by 5 to get the possible amount of combinations. This gets us 15. This means there are 15 combinations of bread and meat.
