i did the following question in a practice exam (word for word):
Brayden is buying a triple scoop ice cream.
The flavours are: Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Mint or Gum drop.
He chooses three different flavours.
How many different combinations can he have?
My answer for this question was 60.
Working:
5*4*3=60
However, the mark scheme said that the answer was 10. I don’t understand how I am meant to get that answer. Somebody help me please! (My exam is in three hours)
