Question

A store selling school supplies advertises a bundle deal . The consumer can pick a backpack , a binder , a pack of pencils , and notebook paper for a set price. There are 6 types of backpacks , 4 types of binders , 5 types of pencils , and 2 types of notebook paper . How many different bundles are possible ?

Answer 1

6 × 4 × 5 × 2 = 240 different possible bundles

Knowledge point:

The Product Rule: If there are n ways to do A and m ways to do B, then the number of ways to do A and B is n × m

I.e. to get the amount of different bundles, all the relevant amount of options for each category must be multiplied by each other.
