Thread: Beginner permutations questions clarification

Jeff has a choice of three soups, four types of sandwiches, and two desserts. In how many ways can Jeff choose his lunch if he has soup, a sandwich, and dessert?

I completely forgot how to do questions like that. Is it simply 3P1 + 4P1 + 2P1 = 24? I feel like I'm missing something.
