Question

The local ice cream stand offers three flavors of soft-serve ice cream: vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry; two types of cone: sugar and wafer; and three toppings: sprinkles, nuts, and cookie crumbs. If Dawn does not order vanilla ice cream, how many different choices can she make that have one flavor of ice cream, one type of cone, and one topping?

Answer 1

If Dawn does not order vanilla ice cream, she can make 12 different choices for flavor, cone, and topping.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Dawn does not order vanilla ice cream, she will have two choices for the flavor of ice cream: chocolate or strawberry.

For the type of cone, she will have two choices: sugar or wafer.

Lastly, for the topping, she will have three choices: sprinkles, nuts, or cookie crumbs.

To find the total number of different choices Dawn can make, we multiply the number of choices for each category:

2 (flavor of ice cream) x 2 (type of cone) x 3 (topping) = 12

Therefore, Dawn can make 12 different choices that have one flavor of ice cream, one type of cone, and one topping.
