Question

A restaurant offers 8 appetizers and 10 main courses. In How many ways can a person order a two-course meal?

Answer 1

for every 1 main course there are 8 appetizers that can go with it. so if there are 2 main courses there are 8 appetizers that could go with each of them so that could be considered

 

8 for the first meal and 8 for the second meal would mean

 

8+8 = 16 meal combinations

 

or 8*2

 

so if there are 10 main courses then that would mean for each one of those there will be 8 appetizers.

 

so...

 

8*10 = 80

 

so there are 80 two course meal combinations
