An ice cream store sells 4 drinks, in 3 sizes, and 8 flavors. In how many ways can a customer order a drink?
To determine the total number of ways a customer can order a drink, we multiply the number of options for each characteristic (number of drinks, sizes, and flavors).
Number of drinks = 4
Sizes = 3
Flavors = 8
Thus, the total number of ways a customer can order a drink is 4 * 3 * 8 = <<4*3*8=96>>96 ways.
