Answer:

20: But here is how.

Logically. <Which as you practice means you won’t have to write anything for this type of problem =) >

“Every shirt could come with any one of the pants.” (notation: sn is shirt number n)

s1 with 4 pants, so 4 outfits

s2 with 4 pants, so 4 outfits

s3 with 4 pants, so 4 outfits

s4 with 4 pants, so 4 outfits

s5 with 4 pants, so 4 outfits

Total of 5×4
