Here are the possibilities for each choice. Choice Possibilities Size Junior, Small, Medium, Large Cheese? With cheese, Without cheese Type of bun White bun, Wheat bun Side order Fries, Onion rings, Fruit cup Fruit drink Orange, Grape, Cherry, Lemonade How many Kids' Lunches are possible?

Answer 1

192 Kids' Lunches are possible.

Explanation:

The client must make 5 decisions:

1) Size (junior, small, medium, large)

2) Cheese (with or without)

3) Type of bun (white, wheat)

4) Side order (fries, onion rings, fruit cup)

5) Drink (orange, grape, cherry, lemonade)

Since the client must make all 5 decisions all the time, we will multiply the number of options we have:

1) For size, he has 4 options,

2) For cheese, he has 2 options,

3) For type of bun, 2 options,

4) For side order, 3 options,

5) For drink, 4 options.

Therefore, the number of total options he has is 4 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 192 Kids' Lunches.
