Question

Nick is designing a toy car. He is picking between 8 different car models

and 10 colors. Find the total number of cars he could design. *

Answer 1

80

Explanation:

No of types of car model = 8

No of color = 10

we can solve this problem by using fundamental principle of counting.

It states that if there are "m" ways to do a thing and there are "n" ways to do other thing then there are "m*n* ways of doing two things together.

For example if there are 3 shirts and 4 pants then there are 3 * 4 different ways to wear combination of shirts and pants.

Similarly in this problem there 8 different car model and 10 different colors hence there are 8 * 10 = 80 different ways to select combination of car model and colors.

Thus there are 80 number of cars Nick could design
