Number of Combinations Name________________________________________

Fundamental Counting Principle

Subway restaurants are notorious for their saying “Eat Fresh”, but really they should
be known for the saying “Have it Your Way” based on the most number of
combinations for possible sandwiches in their stores. Answer the following questions
to be able to determine how many combinations of sandwiches are available in this Subway.

1. How many options for bread are there in this store?

2. How many options for choices of sandwiches, or meats?

3. How many options for cheese are there in this store? Don’t forget the option for no cheese!!

4. How many options for veggies are there in this store? Again, don’t forget the option for no veggies!

5. How many options are there for sauces are there in this store? ^^Same as above

6. What other options or choices do they ask you when you are ordering that we did not consider? Make a list of
those options and how many choices they would account for.

Using the answers from above, how many different sandwich combinations are there available in this store?
