Question 276989: A student planning her curriculum for the upcoming year must select one of five business courses, one of three mathematics courses, two of six elective courses, and either one of five history courses or one of three social science courses. How many different curricula are available for her consideration? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
There are 5 ways to select the business course. For each of those ways, there are 3 ways to select the mathematics course, so that is 15 ways. For each one of those ways, there are 6 ways to pick the first elective course. Then presuming that she isn't going to take the same elective course twice, there are only 5 ways to pick the second elective course. Then there are 8 ways to choose from 5 history or 3 social science courses.
