Take into account that there are 7 chices for the first course, and there are 10 choices for the entree.

The total number of choices is given bye:

total_choices = Choices_for_first_course x choices_fro_entree

Then, by replacing the values of the previous parameters you get:

total_choices = 7 x 10 = 70

There are 70 ways a person can order a two-course meal
