the model of the car you are thinking of buying is available in five different colors and four different styles. In how many ways can the car be ordered?
To determine how many ways the car can be ordered, we need to consider the options for both the colors and styles.
Since there are five different colors available and four different styles, the total number of possible combinations is obtained by multiplying the number of color options by the number of style options:
5 colors × 4 styles = 20 different ways the car can be ordered.
To find the number of ways the car can be ordered with different colors and styles, we need to multiply the number of options for each category.
First, let's calculate the number of ways the car can be ordered by color:
There are 5 different colors available, so there are 5 options.
Next, let's calculate the number of ways the car can be ordered by style:
There are 4 different styles available, so there are 4 options.
To find the total number of ways the car can be ordered, we multiply the number of options for each category:
Total number of ways = Number of color options × Number of style options
Total number of ways = 5 × 4
Therefore, the car can be ordered in 20 different ways.
