You can put this solution on YOUR website! my mistake
I should have used combinations instead of permutations since order does not matter
small pizza: 8C3=336/6=56
medium pizza: 8C4=1680/24=70
large pizza: 8C5=6720/120=56
total pizzas= 56+70+56=182

these answers do not make sense!

for the small pizza there are 8P3=8*7*6=336 different types of small pizzas
for the medium pizza there are 8P4=8*7*6*5=1680
for the large pizza there are 8P5=8*7*6*5*4=6720
so there should be 336+1680+6720=8736 different pizzas
