Answer: The total number of different types of labels will the manufacturers have to produce = 24.

Explanation:

Given: Choices for flavours = 4

Choices for sugar = 2 {either sugar or sugar free}

Choices for the qunatity = 3

By Fundamental counting principle,

Total number of different types of labels will have to produce = (Choices for flavors) x (Choices for sugar)x (Choices for the quantity )

= 4 x 2x 3

=24

Hence, the total number of different types of labels will the manufacturers have to produce = 24.
