By using the Fundamental Counting Principle, there are 4 different items
We take the 4 different "events"
We have a choice of 12 toppings for the first event
12
Now there are only 11 toppings left to choose from for the second event
11
Now there are only 10 toppings to choose from for the third event
10
And there are only 9 toppings for the 4th event
9
Multiply these togetehr
12*11*10*9
11880
The number of different sandwiches is 11880
