A fast food offers a special for $9.99. The customer can choose from 3 types of main courses, 4 types of sides, 5 drinks, and 3 sauces. Assuming you will pick exactly one of each how many different possibilities are there?
To find the total number of possibilities, you multiply the number of choices for each category.
3 main courses x 4 sides x 5 drinks x 3 sauces = 180 possibilities
So, there are 180 different possibilities for the special.
