A delicatessen serves 13 kinds of sandwiches and 5 kinds of chips. How many different sandwich and chip lunches can they make if each lunch has one sandwich and one bag of chips?

the sandwich can be chosen in 13 ways and chips in 5 ways

so total combinations possible = 13x 5
= 65 different types of lunches

I didn't realize there was such a simple solution. I thought I would have to break down the variations. Thank you.

To find the number of different sandwich and chip lunches the delicatessen can make, you can multiply the number of sandwich options by the number of chip options.

In this case, the delicatessen has 13 different sandwich options and 5 different chip options.

So, the number of different sandwich and chip lunches they can make is:

13 options for sandwiches x 5 options for chips = 65 different lunch combinations.
