How many pizzas are possible with two items from each group?
How many three item pizzas are possible?
How many pizzas are possible, regardless of number of toppings (assume each is only chosen once)? Hint: one choice is “cheese only”, i.e. all toppings are not chosen.
Solution
a) we have 3 different top so we have 3 possibles pizza for one topping
b) we have 14 different topping, 6 for meats, 5 for veggies and 3 for others so we have 14 differents pizza
6 different pizza for meats
5 different pizzas for veggies
3 different pizzas for others
c)
for meats: we have 6 different toppings and we will select 2 for 1 pizza
6C2= 15
we have 15 different pizza for meats
for veggies we have 5 different toppings and we will select 2 for 1 kind of pizza
5C2=10
we have 10 different pizza for veggies
for others 3C2=3 we will have 3 different kind of pizza
d)
meats : 6C3=20 different pizza for meats
veggies: 5C3=10 different pizza for veggies
others: 3C3=1 different pizza for others
e)
there are 15 different pizza for only chosen including cheese only
