Q. Michelle is putting together a business outfit. There are 77 pairs of pants and 22 dress shirts to choose from. How many different outfits can Michelle put together?\newline____\_\_\_\_ outfits
  1. Apply Basic Counting Principle: Apply the Basic Counting Principle. We need to determine the total number of different outfits Michelle can put together. Since the choice of pants and the choice of dress shirts are independent events, we can multiply the number of choices for each item to find the total number of outcomes.\newlineNumber of pants choices = 77\newlineNumber of dress shirt choices = 22\newlineCalculate the total number of different outfits.\newline77 (pants choices) ×\times 22 (dress shirt choices) = 1414
