Question 862577: marcus has 4 ties, 5 shirts, 3 pair of pants. How many outfits can he wear?
Answer by ben720(159)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each of the 4 ties creates a string of possibilities. So far, there are four.
Each of the 5 shirts create a new string of possibilities for each string of ties. Therefore, there are 5*4 possibilities so far, or 20.
Each of the 3 pairs of pants multiply the existing possibilities by 3. Therefore, there are 20*3 possibilities, or60 Possibilities
