Alunch menu consists of 5 different sandwiches, 2 different soups, and 5 different drinks. how many choices are there for ordering a sandwich, a bowl of soup, and a drink? 69 choices 72 choices 50 choices 12 choices

Hello there,

So first there is a law in maths called the fundamental principle of counting.
This states that if there are M ways of doing N there are MN ways of doing it.
This means that if there are three ways you could two stuff you multiply the numbers to get the total numbers of ways to do something.

In this case there are 5 different ways of having 2 diffent soups and 5 different drinks.

So according to our principal there are the number of soup x number of drinks x number of sandwiches.
So 5x2x5.

So as we know 5x2x5 is 50.

So the answer is 50.

Hope this helps !
