Answer:


5C1 (9C3) (5C3)

And replacing we got:


(5!)/(1! 4!) ((9!)/(3! (9-3)!)) ((5!)/(3! (5-3)!)) = 5*84*10=4200

So then we have a total of 4200 possibilities in order to have a veggle wrap

Explanation:

For this case we can use the combinatory formula given by:


nCx= (n!)/(x! (n-x)!)

And for this case we have a total of 9 vegatables and 5 condiments and 5 types of tortilla. Then the total number of possibilities are:


5C1 (9C3) (5C3)

And replacing we got:


(5!)/(1! 4!) ((9!)/(3! (9-3)!)) ((5!)/(3! (5-3)!)) = 5*84*10=4200

So then we have a total of 4200 possibilities in order to have a veggle wrap
