Solution:

Given that Juan owns

8 pairs of pants

1 shirt

3 ties

1 jacket

He can only wear 1 pair of pant at a time,

Thus, he can wear 8 pairs for 8 different times, together with 1 shirt and 1 jacket.

However, we have 3 ties,

Thus, he can wear each pair of pant with any of the 3 ties, bringing the different number of outfits he can wear to 8 x 3 = 24

Thus, the answer is

8 x 3 = 24
