Answer 1

Answer: 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : At Deb’s Deli, a customer may choose either a sandwich and a salad or a sandwich and a soup for the lunch special.

The number of choices for sandwiches = 5

The number of choices for salad = 4

The number of choices for soup = 3

Now, the number of  possible lunch special combinations can be ordered will be :-

$5\times4+5\times3=20+15=35$

Hence, the number of  possible lunch special combinations can be ordered will be 35.
