A pizza shop has 18 different toppings to choose from. Today's special comes with a choice of 5 toppings, plus a choice of 3 types of crust: thin crust, regular, and deep dish crust. How many different combinations can be made with 5 toppings and 3 crusts?

PLEASE GIVE A STEP BY STEP. I CANNOT FIGURE THIS OUT.

5 x 3 = 15 different solutions/combinations
1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 1e
2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e
3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 2e
with the numbers representing the (3) crusts, and the letters representing the (5) toppings, 15 combinations would be the answer.
