Question

Hello, I need help with my son's 6th-grade math assignment. I've attached photos of the assignment. It has 2 steps and we are not sure how to determine how many different possible combinations there are. Can someone please help assist?Thank you

Answer 1

96 combinations

Explanation:

We can calculate the number of combinations, multiplying the number of options by selection (topic). By the Fundamental Counting Principle.

That is to say, there are 3 types of cones, 4 types of flavor, 4 types of topping (including no topping) and two options on whether to have the cherry or not.

Therefore, the number of combinations would be the following:

`\begin{gathered} c=3\cdot4\cdot4\cdot2 \\ c=96 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, there are a total of 96 combinations
