We can't determine the number of ICE CREAM AND topping combinations if you don't tell us how many kinds of ice cream there are....

As for the number of combinations of at most 4 TOPPINGS, that number is

(10 choose 0) + (10 choose 1) + (10 choose 2) + (10 choose 3) + (10 choose 4)

Use a calculator if needed....
