An ice cream store had 12 flavors of ice crew and 4 toppings. For sundaes the costumer selects a flavor and a topping and whether is is with whipped cream or without whipped cream. How many different sundaes are possible?
You have to multiply the variables. 12 different types of ice cream X 4 different toppings X 2 (with or without whipped cream). 12 X 4 = 48 48 X 2 = 96
