Q. Valeria and her family are at the pet store getting supplies for a new cat, which they will be adopting from the animal shelter later today. The pet store has 77 kinds of food dishes and 22 kinds of cat food. If they get one of each item, how many different combinations of supplies can Valeria's family get?\newline_______\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ combinations
  1. Identify Options: Identify the number of options for each category.\newlineValeria's family has 77 options for food dishes and 22 options for cat food.
  2. Use Principle: Use the fundamental counting principle.\newlineTo find the total number of combinations, multiply the number of options for food dishes by the number of options for cat food.\newline77 (food dishes) ×2\times 2 (cat food) = 1414 combinations
  3. Verify Result: Verify the result.\newlineSince there are no restrictions and each food dish can be paired with each type of cat food, the multiplication is correct.
