Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 8 different flavors and 3 types of cones. This means there are 8*3 = 24 different combos possible.

Imagine a table with 8 rows and 3 columns. Each row is a different flavor and each column is a different cone type. The table formed has 24 inner cells to represent a different combination of flavor + cone type. So that's why we multiplied those values earlier.

Note: This only works if you're only able to select one type of flavor.
