To solve these questions, we can use the concept of combinations.

a) To find the number of outfits consisting of a blouse and a pair of pants, we need to multiply the number of options for each item. Maya has 4 choices for blouses and 2 choices for dress pants. So the number of outfits is 4 x 2 = 8.

b) To find the number of outfits consisting of a pants outfit or a dress, we need to add the number of pants outfits and the number of dress outfits. We already found that Maya has 8 pants outfits (from the previous question). She also has 3 dress options. So the total number of outfits is 8 + 3 = 11.

c) Let's break down each part of this question:

- Outfits consisting of pants, a blouse, and shoes: To calculate this, we multiply the number of options for each item. Maya has 4 options for blouses, 2 options for dress pants, and 3 options for shoes (excluding the high heels). So the number of outfits is 4 x 2 x 3 = 24.

- Outfits consisting of a dress and shoes: Maya has 3 dress options, and 5 shoe options (including the high heels). To calculate the number of outfits, we multiply these numbers: 3 x 5 = 15.

- Total number of outfits consisting of a dress or a pants outfit and shoes: To calculate this, we add the number of outfits consisting of a dress and shoes to the number of outfits consisting of pants, a blouse, and shoes. So the total number of outfits is 24 + 15 = 39.

Therefore, Maya has 24 outfits consisting of pants, a blouse, and shoes, 15 outfits consisting of a dress and shoes, and a total of 39 outfits consisting of either a dress or a pants outfit with shoes.
