Full solution

Q. You have 55 shirts, 33 pairs of pants, and 44 ties.\newlineHow many outfits are possible?
  1. Calculate product of choices: To determine the total number of outfits possible, we need to calculate the product of the number of choices for each item of clothing.
  2. Choose shirt and pants: For each shirt, you can choose any pair of pants. Since there are 55 shirts and 33 pairs of pants, this gives us 5×3=155 \times 3 = 15 combinations of shirts and pants.
  3. Choose tie: Now, for each combination of shirt and pants, you can choose any tie. Since there are 44 ties, this gives us 1515 (from the previous step) ×4=60\times 4 = 60 combinations of shirts, pants, and ties.
