You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the flavors are labeled 1 - 10,
\n" ); document.write( "you can have:
\n" ); document.write( "flavor 1 with any of 7 toppings
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "flavor 2 with any of 7 toppings
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "flavor 3 with any of 7 toppings
\n" ); document.write( "etc. . .
\n" ); document.write( "Since you have OR choices,
\n" ); document.write( "you add the possibilities
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+%2B+7+=+10%2A7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+10%2A7+=+70+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There are 70 possible selections of 1 flavor and 1 topping
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "You could have done it the opposite way, too
\n" ); document.write( "topping 1 with any of 10 flavors
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "topping 2 with any of 10 flavors
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "topping 3 with any of 10 flavors
\n" ); document.write( "etc. . .
\n" ); document.write( "This gives you $\"+7%2A10+=+70+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "same answer\r
