A restaurant offers six different kinds of soup and two different kinds of salad.

(a) If you are having either soup or salad, how many choices do you have?


(b) If you are having both soup and salad, how many choices do you have?

Answer 1

Answer: (a) 8 (b) 12

Explanation:

Given : The number of different kinds of soups = 6

The number of different kinds of salad = 2

(a) If you are having either soup or salad, then the total number of choices you have :-

`6+2=8`

Hence, the total number of choices you have = 8

(b) If you are having both soup and salad, then the number of choices you have :-

`6*2=12`

Hence, the total number of choices you have = 12
