Question

Tahari is shopping for a new car. She is making her decision based on brand, color, and style. She can choose from 4 brands, 5 colors, and 3 styles. First, Tahari chooses the color. Which explains the number of options that she has left after she chooses the color?

Answer 1

Are there choices? I would say 4x1x3, or 12 options after the color is chosen.

Answer 2

Tahari is left with 12 options after she chooses the color.

Explanation:

Tahari can choose from 4 brands, 5 colors, and 3 styles.

First, she chooses the color.

Her total choices based on all three parameters is =

`4*5*3=60`

When she has chosen a color, she has two parameters left.

So, she has now
`4*3=12` choices left

So, after finalizing a color, she is left with 12 choices/options.
