Answer:

60 different meal packages are possible.

Explanation:

Fundamental counting principle:

States that if there are p ways to do a thing, and q ways to do another thing, and these two things are independent, there are p*q ways to do both things.

In this question:

4 types of drinks

5 types of sandwiches.

3 types of chips.

They are independent events, so, by the fundamental counting principle:

4*5*3 = 60

60 different meal packages are possible.
