The panini cafe has a special lunch menu in which the diner chooses a soup or salad, a main course, and a dessert. There are 3 choices of soups, 3 for salads, 5 for the main, and 4 for desserts. How many different 3 course meals can diners order for lunch?

I did 3x3x5x4 but I think that is wrong.

I should clarify that I did 3x3x5x4^3.

soup/salad (3 of each) counts as one course. So, there are

6x5x4 ways to pick the three courses
