Question

A bag lunch consists of a sandwich, chips, and fruit. There may be a peanut butter sandwich, a cheese sandwich, or a roast beef sandwich. There may be corn chips, potato chips, pita chips, or pretzel chips. There maybe an apple, an orange, or a pear. How many different bag lunches are possible?

Answer 1

Answer:

there are 36 possible bag lunches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the possible sandwiches do not depend on the selection of the chips and fruits ( and the same for chips or fruits respect to the other food in the bag)

then

number of possible bag lunches= possible sandwiches * possible chips* possible fruits = 3 * 4 *3 = 36

then there are 36 possible bag lunches
