Question

Many people coming into the bakery order sandwiches with 3 condiments. How many different sandwiches with 3 condiments (and 1 type of meat, 1 type of cheese) could be created?

Answer 1

condiments A, B and C can be ordered in these configurations:

none A B C AB BC AC ABC...which I take to be 8 choices.

 

inside the sandwich you could have MEAT OR CHEESE OR BOTH...which I take to be three choices.

 

It appears that there are 24 possible orders of sandwich(multiplying the condiment configuration # of ways by the 3 interior ways0.
