a new car buyer had the choice of 3 body styles, 2 engines, and 7 colors. How many different ways are there to select a car?
To find the total number of different ways to select a car, we need to multiply the number of choices available for each category: body styles, engines, and colors.
For body styles, there are 3 options available: let's say A, B, and C.
For engines, there are 2 options available: let's say X and Y.
And for colors, there are 7 options available: let's say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
To calculate the total number of different ways to select a car, we need to multiply the number of choices for each category together:
Total number of ways to select a car = Number of body styles * Number of engines * Number of colors
Total number of ways to select a car = 3 * 2 * 7 = 42
Therefore, there are 42 different ways to select a car with the given choices of 3 body styles, 2 engines, and 7 colors.
To determine the total number of different ways to select a car, we need to multiply the number of options for each body style, engine, and color.
The number of body styles available is 3.
The number of engines available is 2.
The number of colors available is 7.
To find the total number of ways to select a car, we multiply these numbers:
Total number of ways = Number of body styles × Number of engines × Number of colors
Total number of ways = 3 × 2 × 7
Therefore, there are a total of 42 different ways to select a car.

They are not difficult, and are of a basic type in this topic. Follow some of the examples in your text or in your class notes.
e.g. for the above:
For each of the 3 body styles, you can choose 2 engines, so far you have
3*2 or 6 ways.
For each of those 6 ways, you can choose 7 different colours, so how about
3*2*7 or 42 different ways to select a car.
