Question

Scanti Lee Clad has 15 short shorts and 11 sleeveless blouses. In how many different ways could she select a shorts-blouse combination?

Answer 1

Answer: 165 different combinations.

Explanation:

Here we first need to identify the "selections", and then the number of options for each selection.

Here we have two selections, shorts, and sleeveless blouses.

For shorts, we have 15 options.

For sleeveless blouses, we have 11 options.

The total number of combinations will be equal to the product between the numbers of options for each selection, then the total number of combinations is:

C = 11*15 = 165
