Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, there are 60 different ways to order the pizza.
<h3>What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?</h3>It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:
For this problem, considering the sauce, the topping and the pizza format, the parameters are found as follows:
- For the sauce, there are 2 options, either cheese or tomato, hence
.
- For the topping, there are 4 options, but the options may be combined, for example, Pepperoni and Sausage, hence
. The subtraction by 1 is because the option of no topping is found in the third parameter.
- The topping can be added to either all the pizza or only half the pizza, hence
.
Thus the number of ways for the customer to order a pizza is given by:
N = 2 x 15 x 2 = 60.
