Answer: 100 different combo

Explanation:

This is an independent combination.

There are 5 kinds of main dishes, so we time 5

There are 4 side dishes and there is nothing overlapping, so we time 4

There are 5 drinks and there is nothing overlapping, so we time 5.

5 × 4 × 5 = 100 combo

Hope this helps!! :)
