Question: Holly bought handbags in 3 different colors (brown, blue and black) with 3 different sizes (small, medium and large) in each color. How many choices of handbags are there?
A ) 6
B ) 3
C ) 9
D ) None of the above
Steps to derive
1 Number of choices to choose a color = 3
2 Number of choices to choose a size = 3
3 Number of ways of choosing a handbag = (Number of choices to choose a color) x (Number of choices to choose a size)
[Substitute and multiply.]
4 = 3 x 3 = 9
5 So, Holly has 9 different choices of handbags available.
