The answer is D, or 168. The cheese can be any one out of 3 = 3 choices. For each of those . . . The first topping can be any one of 8. For each of those . . . The second topping can be any one of the remaining 7 . For each of those . . . The third topping can be any one of the remaining 6 .
Total number of ways to assemble a pizza = (3 x 8 x 7 x 6) = 1,008 ways.
<span>BUT . . . </span>
You could choose the SAME 3 toppings in (3 x 2) = 6 different ways, and nobody could tell the difference once they were selected. All 6 different ways would result in the same pizza.
So, out of the 1,008 total different ways there are of choosing ingredients, <span>there are only ( 1,008 / 6 ) = </span>168<span> different and distinct pizzas.</span>
