Suppose that pizzas can be ordered in four sizes (small,
medium, large, and Illini-size), with three crust choices
(thin, thick, and Chicago style), four choices of meat
(sausage, pepperoni, hamburger, and none) and two
types of cheese (regular or double). How many different
styles of pizza can be ordered?
i got 56 is this correct
I see it as
4x3x4x2 = 96
(how did you get 56 ?)
To determine the number of different styles of pizza that can be ordered, we need to multiply the number of choices for each category.
Given:
- Sizes: 4 choices (small, medium, large, Illini-size)
- Crusts: 3 choices (thin, thick, Chicago style)
- Meat: 4 choices (sausage, pepperoni, hamburger, none)
- Cheese: 2 choices (regular, double)
To find the total number of different styles, we multiply the number of choices for each category:
4 (sizes) x 3 (crusts) x 4 (meat choices) x 2 (cheese choices) = 96
Hence, there are 96 different styles of pizza that can be ordered, not 56.
