    Cominations of Possible Burritos
    If I have 6 different burrito shells and 4 different meats that could go in those shells + 15different vegetables and 6 different sauces - how many potential cominations do I have available to my customer?

    Without complicating this, can we assume 6 different shells, 4 different meats, 15 different vegetables, and 6 different sauces?

    It is the multtiplication principle. Just mutliply them together.

    (6)(4)(15)(6)=

    This is considering one of each is used. If we are using more sauces or more veggie, etc. then that is a different matter.

    It is probably the former if the problem does not state otherwise.
