Can someone help me solve this problem?

At the beginning of 2002, an ice cream shop claimed to have "nearly 973 different ice cream flavors." Assuming that you could choose from 973 different flavors, that you could have your ice cream in a cone, a cup, or a sundae, and that you could choose from a dozen different toppings, how many different desserts could you have?

By your description my calculation is 973x3*=2,919
With the dozen different toppings would be  2,919x12=35,028

Considering the cone, cup, or sundae.****

Hope this helps!

Answer:

There are 35,028 possible ice cream combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose, each ice cream (I) is formed by 1 ice-cream flavor, 1 container, and 1 topping.

There are:

  • 973 flavors (f)
  • 3 kind of containers (c): cone, cup or sundae
  • 12 toppings (t)

We can find all the possible combinations using the following expression.

I = f × c × t

I = 973 × 3 × 12

I = 35,028

There are 35,028 possible ice cream combinations.
