While remodeling the house, you have 3 choices of paint color, 4 choices of carpet color, and 5 choices of furniture style. How many different groupings will you be able to make using one paint color, one carpet color, and one furniture style?
A. 20
B. 50
C. 60
D. 80.
There are 3 choices for the paint color, 4 choices for the carpet color, and 5 choices for the furniture style. To find the total number of ways to make a grouping, we can use the multiplication principle of counting:
3 choices x 4 choices x 5 choices = 60
Therefore, the answer is C. 60.
To determine the number of different groupings, we multiply the number of choices for each category together: paint color, carpet color, and furniture style.
Number of choices for paint color = 3
Number of choices for carpet color = 4
Number of choices for furniture style = 5
Total number of groupings = 3 * 4 * 5 = 60
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 60.
