Combinations from a food menu: "Restaurant offers burritos on corn or flour..."
"A restaurant offers burritos on a corn or a flour tortilla, 5 types of meat, 6 types of cheese, and 3 different toppings. When ordering, customers can choose 1 type of tortilla, 1 meat, and 1 cheese. They can then add any of the 3 toppings. How many burrito combinations are possible?"
I started out thinking that there was a total of 4 different ways things could be arranged and that the number of different possible items to choose from was 16. But, then I hit a dead end. What am I missing? Is this a combination problem?
Thanks!
