Thread: sandwich combinations

Choices

6 bread
4 meat
4 cheese
12 garnishes

How many different possibilities for sandwiches are there is you choose
a- 1 bread, 1 meat, 1 cheese, and no garnishes?
b- 1 bread, 1 meat, 2 DIFFERENT cheeses, and from 0 to 12 garnishes?

Thanks

multiplication rule
(a) 6 times 4 times 4
(b) 6 times 4 times 6 because (4 choose 2 =6 cheeses) the garnishes, well thats huge
the number of garnishes is the sum of 12 choose x from 0 to 12


via the binomial theorem

Thank you.

part a=96
partb=6*4*6*4096=589824?

Yes, if I understood this correctly
and by the way, who cut the cheese?
