A girls' choir is choosing a uniform for their concert. They can pick red, green or
purple sweaters, and they can pick tan, white or black skirts. The shoes they need
come in gold and black. Assuming all combinations are acceptable, how many
different combinations can the choir pick?

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:   18 different outfit combinations

=============================================================

Explanation:

  • There are 3 colors to pick for the sweaters (red, green, purple).
  • There are 3 colors for the skirts (tan, white, black)
  • There are 2 colors for the shoes (gold, black)

Multiply out those values mentioned to get the final answer: 3*3*2 = 9*2 = 18.

There are 18 different outfit combos.

Further explanation (optional section):

Let's say we only worried about the sweaters and shoes, and for now there's only one color for the skirt. We have 3 colors for the sweaters and 2 for the shoes. Imagine a table with 3 rows and 2 columns. Each row is a different color for the sweater and each column is a different color for the shoe. There are 3*2 = 6 cells inside the table. Each cell is a different outfit.

For instance, we could have R = red sweater and G = gold shoe. Then that means RG = red sweater + gold shoe outfit. So we'd have RG as one of the cells of this 6 cell table.

Now imagine that we laid out a table that is 6 by 3. The 6 is from the 6 outfits calculated earlier, and the 3 is now accounting for the colors of the skirts. We'd then have 6*3 = 18 combos total. Again, each cell inside the table represents a different outfit combo.
