Tony runs a dessert shop. He has waffles, crepes, and ice cream cones. He offers 3 flavors of ice cream: strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. How many different combinations can he offer his customers if they can choose one flavor of ice cream on waffle or crepe or cone?
Waffle = strawberry chocolate vanilla
Crepe = strawberry chocolate vanilla
Cone = strawberry chocolate vanilla
He can offer 9 different combinations.
To find the number of different combinations Tony can offer, we need to multiply the number of options for each choice.
Tony offers 3 flavors of ice cream: strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. Each flavor can be paired with the 3 options (waffle, crepe, or cone).
So, there are 3 options for the ice cream flavor and 3 options for the type of dessert.
To find the total number of combinations, we multiply these two numbers: 3 (flavors) * 3 (dessert types) = 9.
Therefore, Tony can offer 9 different combinations to his customers.
