Question

At a local pizza parlor, patrons have 2 choices of cheese and 10 choices of topping. In how many different ways can a patron choose 1 type of cheese and 1 type of topping?

Answer 1

There is only 20 different ways you can do for 1 topping and 1 cheese for this question. Because every topping(10) on every cheese(2) gives you 20 different choices you can have a pizza.

Answer 2

20 different ways

Explanation:

Let x be the different ways to choose a type of cheese and a type of topping

There are 2 cheese options and 10 topping options. So,

x = 2 * 10

x = 20 different ways
