Problem
A car dealer has 8 exterior colors, 12 interior colors, and 7 options packages available for new cars. In how many different ways can a person buying a new car from this dealer select an exterior color, an interior color, and an options package?
Solution
For this case we can use the counting principle and the number of ways can be founded as the multiplication of the individual options and we have:
Possibilities =8*12*7
Possibilities =96 *7= 672
