A local BBQ restaurants offers 2 side dishes with a lunch plate. There are 7 side dishes. How many choices of side dishes does a customer have

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question that bothers combination. Combination has to do with selection.

When selecting r objects out of a pool of n objects, the number of ways this can be done is:

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

If a local BBQ restaurants offers 2 side dishes with a lunch plate, and there are 7 side dishes, the number of choices that the customer have is expressed as:

7C2 = 7!/(7-2)!2!

7C2 = 7!/(5)!2!

7C2 = 7*6*5!/5! * 2

7C2 = 7*6/2

7C2 = 42/2

7C2 = 21 choices

Hence the customer has 21 choices of side dishes to make
