Question

Answer 1

The total number of possible outfits you have = 8*4*3 = 96. [ANSWER]

Explanation:

Two outfits are considered to be different if they have atleast one item of clothing different (shirt, pants or shoes). Now,

We can choose any of the 8 shirts we have for an outfit.

We can chooses any of the 4 pants we have for an outfit.

We can choose any of the 3 pairs of shoes we have for an outfit.

Thus, the total number of outfits possible = (Number of shirts)*(Number of pants)*(Number of pairs of shoes)

= 8*4*3

= 96 [ANSWER]
