Question 570100: Given the menu below how many different burgers can you make. Meat: single meat, double meat, and triple meat. Cheese: there are 3 different kinds (you can use a max of 3 cheeses). Toppings: there are 13 different kinds of toppings.
Note: a combination is counted by what is on the burger NOT the order of placement.....Wouldn't you solve this by multiplying 3*3*13???

It is probably assumed that you can use any of the 13 toppings. Therefore the number of ways is 3*3*(2^13) because for each topping you can either put it on or not put it on, for two possibilities. There are 13 toppings, so 2^13.
