Given info:
Appetizer
Shrimp Cocktail
Chicken Livers
French Onion Soup
Nachos

Main Course
16-oz sirloin
Small Prime Rib
Lasagna
Turkey Dinner
Shrimp Scampi
Fried Scallops

Dessert
Cheesecake
Pie a `la mode
Seasonal Fruit Parfait

There are A = 4 appetizers, B = 6 main courses, and C = 3 desserts.

This means there are A*B*C = 4*6*3 = 24*3 = 72 specials priced at $18.99
If you were to make a tree diagram, then you'd have 72 different paths/branches.
