Question

David went to a fast-food shop for a meal in a late evening. Only steak, pork chop and grilled chicken were available for main course, and only tea and coffee were available for drinks. How many choices were there if he ordered a main course and a drink?

Answer 1

six

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason is this: let steak be (s), pork  be (p), grilled chicken be (gc), tea be (t), and coffee be (c)

now, we want to find the total number of outcomes, and this cannot be determined by a simple roll of the dice. you have to count the sample space required for EVERY outcome, and it has to lie within the conditions. so, assuming David only takes 1 main course and 1 drink, he would be down to six  option, which are :

1. s & t

2. s & c

3. p & t

4. p & c

5. gc & t

6. gc & c
