Question

Use the fundamental counting principle to find the number of possible outcomes. There are 32 flavors of ice cream and 4 different types of cones.

​

Answer 1

128.

Explanation:

Given that there are 32 flavors of ice cream and 4 different types of cones, to determine the total amount of possible combinations of ice creams that can be made, the following calculation must be performed:

32 x 4 = X

The 32 flavors are multiplied by the 4 types of cone, in order to cover each flavor with each different cone.

128 = X

Thus, the total number of ice cream combinations that can be made is 128.
