The menu at a Stir-Fry Chinese restaurant has the following items:Bases: Noodles, Rice, Fried RiceSauces: Lo Mein, Sweet & Sour, Spicy, GarlicToppings: Chicken, Beef, Shrimp, Lobster, Scallops, Mushrooms, Peppers, BroccoliHow many different stir-fry's could be made from this menu if the customer could only choose 1 base, 1topping, and 1 sauce for their stir-fry?

Respuesta :

To determine how many combinations the costumer can create if he only chooses one base, one topping and one sauce we need to apply the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{total}=\text{bases}\cdot\text{sauces}\cdot\text{toppings} \\ \text{total}=3\cdot4\cdot8=96 \end{gathered}[/tex]

There can be a total of 96 stir-fry's.
