Problema Solution
A ski store has 30 different boots available, 40 different pairs of skis, and 12 different hats. In how many different ways can a customer purchase an item from the store?
Answer provided by our tutors
If by 1 item it is meant only one element from all the different boots, skis and hats then the number would be:
30 + 40 + 12 = 82 different items
If by 1 item it is meant how many different ways a customer can combine boots, hats & skis, the number would be:
30*40*12 = 14,400 different ways
