Question

A restaurant offers 10 appetizers and 12 main courses. In how many ways can a person order a​ two-course meal? Use the Fundamental Counting Principle with two groups of items.

Answer 1

Answer:

80 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to apply the Fundamental Counting Principle with two groups of items, in this case the multiplication rule is used.

In this case, what we should do is that, for every 1 main course there are 8 appetizers, but there are 10 main courses therefore:

8 * 10 = 80

There are 80 ways to combine appetizers and the main course
