Question

You would like to make a salad that consists of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and peppers. You go to the supermarket intending to purchase one variety of each of these ingredients. You

discover that there are seven varieties of lettuce, six varieties of tomatoes, two varieties of cucumbers, and four varieties of peppers for sale at the supermarket. How many different salads
can you make?
You can make different salads
(Type a whole number.)

Answer 1

For probability, to find all options of something, multiply every option by its outcomes. For example, a coin. There are 2 sides to a coin so lets say you flip it 3 times. 2×2×2 is 8. There are 8 combos you can get.

You can apply that here as well. 7 lettuce × 6 tomatoes × 2 cucumbers × 4 peppers = 336 options. Then /4 to get 84 salads.

Answer 2

Answer: 84 salads.

Step-by-step explanation: Assuming that this is Sequences, Probabilities, and Conics, then the number of salads that you can make with the ingredients is 84. Let's see why.

7*6*4*2 = 336, but you need four ingredients to make the salad, so 336/4 = 84, thus 84 salads you can make.
