Answer 1

9

Explanation:

A sandwich shop advertises 108 combinations (one meat + one cheese).

There are 3 types of bread and 4 cheeses.

Number of combinations:

3 × 4 = 12 combinations

Therefore, the number of different meats that they do offer is calculated as:

= 108 combinations/ Number of combinations for meat and cheese

108 combinations/12 combinations

= 9 different meats
