A popular toy for the upcoming holiday season comes in one of 6 different colors, with one of 10 different costumes, and with one of 4 different accessory sets. A store plans to display 10% of all possible combinations. How may different combinations of the toy will the store display?
6 * 10 * 4 = 240
0.1 * 240 = ?
60
To find the number of different combinations of the toy that the store will display, we need to multiply the number of options for each category.
1. Start with the number of colors: 6 colors
2. Multiply by the number of costumes: 10 costumes
3. Multiply by the number of accessory sets: 4 accessory sets
Therefore, the total number of possible combinations is:
6 colors * 10 costumes * 4 accessory sets = 240 different combinations.
Next, we need to calculate 10% of the total possible combinations to determine how many different combinations the store will display.
10% of 240 = (10/100) * 240 = 24 different combinations.
So, the store will display 24 different combinations of the toy.
