Question

The Health Shack is known for 3 course dinners consisting of appetizer, entree & vegetable. How many different dinners are possible if you choose 1 item from each course?

Answer 1

(# of appetizers) * (# of entrees) * (# of vegetables)

For example, consider the following sets on the menu

appetizers = { onion rings, jalapenos, wings}

entree = { salmon filet, chicken, steak, pork chop}

vegetable = { corn, broccoli, carrots, salad, mashed potato}

then there are 3 * 4*5 = 60 combinations
