A catering service offers 5 appetizers, 8 main courses, and 7 desserts. A banquet chairperson is to select 3 appetizers,4 main courses, and 4 desserts for a banquet. In how many ways can this be done?



Answer :

To find the number of ways to do this, first multiply the total number of each kind by the number that can be selected.
5 x 3 = 15
8 x 4 = 32
7 x 4 = 28
Now, add them all together.
15 + 32 + 28 = 75
There are 75 different ways the banquet food can be set up.
