Customers can create 90 different lunch combo meals.

To find out, you can use the multiplication principle of counting. There are 5 choices for drinks, 6 choices for main dishes, and 3 choices for desserts. To find the total number of possible combinations, you can multiply the number of choices for each category together:

5 drinks x 6 main dishes x 3 desserts = 90 possible combo meals.

Therefore, customers can create 90 different lunch combo meals.

To find the number of possible combo meals, you can use the multiplication principle, which states that if there are m ways to do one thing and n ways to do another, then there are m x n ways to do both.

Using this principle, the total number of combinations is:

5 (drinks) x 6 (main dishes) x 3 (desserts) = 90

Therefore, there are 90 different lunch combo meals possible.
