A local ski sale features eight types of skis, six types of bindings, and seven
types of boots. How many different ski/binding/boot packages are available?
For each of the 8 types of skis, there are 6 types of bindings, so there are
8×6 or 48 ways to choose a type of skis and a type of binding.  Then for each
of those 48 ways, there are 7 ways to choose a type of boots. So there are 48×7
or 336 ways to choose all three.

Answer 8×6×7 = 336.  (Just multiply them all together).
