Question

A computer store builds custom computers by allowing customers to choose 1 of 4 different CPUs, 1 of 8 hard drives, and 1 of 3 videos cards. How many different computers are possible?

The fundamental counting principle states that the number of total options is given by multiplying the number of possibilities for each option, or
Total choices = choices x choices x ...

4*3*8 = 96
