Answer:

The answer is that there are 18 different combinations of vehicles.

Explanation:

We are given that the number of vehicles for his business = 3.

The vehicles are a car, truck, and motorcycle.

So we know that there is two possibilities for car: Red and yellow.

Three possibilities for truck: Black, white, and silver.

Three possibilities for motorcycle: Green, blue and orange.

So now we can make an equation of the different combinations of vehicles that Edwin have to chose from.

So 3 x 3 x 2 = 18

Therefore, there are 18 different combinations of vehicles.

I hope this helps, have a good day!! :D
