Question:
We are going to the ball game. There are 12 different gates from the outside. Then there are 14 different stairways into the stadium. How many different ways can we go into the stadium?

Solution:
If you don't mind the extra distance to choose different stairways once you get in, the multiplication rule for a two step experiment (entrance and stairways) helps us find the total number of ways, N:
N=12*14=224
