If I look in my closet before I go to school, I have 5 pants
options, 12 shirt options, and 3 shoe options; then how
many possible outfits could I have if I choose one of each?
so basically you're gonna multiply each option by the other, making 5 different ways you could combine pants with that one type of shirt and so on. That gives you 5 x 12 x 3 which is 180
