Whenever you want a AND b AND c . . etc.,
you must multiply the possibilities
For multiple choice,
possible answers
and, for true-or-false,
possible answers
Since each of the 2 types of questions can
be combined with any 1 of the other type, there are
possible answers to test
I don't have a calculator right now, so you can do math
