Answer: 12 different outfits

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We simply multiply the values given to us. Think of a table that has 3 rows and 4 columns. The rows represent the different colors of pants Terry can wear. Each column is a different color shirt. Since we have 3 rows and 4 columns, we have 3*4 = 12 cells inside the table. Each cell represents a combination of pants and shirt colors. This means there are 12 different outfits possible.
