(c) 6 selections

Explanation:

See attachment for complete question

Given

Main Dish: Burger (B), Chicken (C), Pasta (P)

Sides: Apple (A), Fries (F)

Solving (a): Is Leann list correct?

From the question, the list is: BA, BF, CA, CF, PA, PF, AB, FB, AC, FC, AP, FP

This list is incorrect because:

AB is the same BA, BF is the same as FB and so on

Solving (b): Number of sides for each Main dish

From the question:

`Main\ dish = 2`

`Sides = 3`

This implies that:

For every main dish, there are 3 sides

Solving (c): Total number of selection

In (b), we have:

`Main\ dish = 2`

`Sides = 3`

So: the total is:

`Total = Main\ dish * Sides`

`Total = 2 * 3`

`Total = 6`
