Question

when ordering the kids lunch at burger universe, the customer must choose a size, a type of bun, a side order, and a type of fruit drink. here are the possibilities for each choice. how many kids lunches are possible?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the number of choices for each category

• Size: \(4\) options (Junior, Small, Medium, Large)
• Type of bun: \(3\) options (Plain bun, Sesame seed bun, Wheat bun)
• Side order: \(4\) options (Fries, Onion rings, Fruit cup, Cheese sticks)
• Fruit drink: \(2\) options (Orange, Grape)

Step2: Apply the fundamental counting principle

The fundamental counting principle states that if there are \(m_1\) ways to do the first task, \(m_2\) ways to do the second task, \(m_3\) ways to do the third task, and \(m_4\) ways to do the fourth task, then the total number of ways to do all four tasks together is \(m_1\times m_2\times m_3\times m_4\).
So, the total number of Kids' Lunches \(=4\times3\times4\times2\)
