A Laundromat offers five types of detergent, sixteen types of fabric softener, and ten types of bleach.
How many different laundry combinations using an item from all three categories are possible at this
Laundromat?

Respuesta :

Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, it is found that there are 800 different combinations at this Laundromat.

What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?

It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with [tex]n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n[/tex] ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:

[tex]N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n[/tex]

In this problem, considering the three options, we have that:

[tex]n_1 = 5, n_2 = 16, n_3 = 10[/tex].

Then, the total number of combinations is given by:

N = 5 x 16 x 10 = 800.
