Answer 1

The easiest way to find the solution is just to multiply: 8*3=24

 

You can think of it logically though. If you have 8 toppings, you could combine each one with cheese #1, yielding 8 different pizzas. Same for cheeses #2 and #3. Therefore, you end up with 24 different pizza combinations.
