To determine the total number of class officer combinations available using the Fundamental Counting Principle, you multiply the number of choices for president by the number of choices for vice-president.

Here, there are:

  • 8 candidates for president
  • 6 candidates for vice-president

The total number of combinations can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Total combinations} = \text{Number of presidential candidates} \times \text{Number of vice-presidential candidates} \] \[ \text{Total combinations} = 8 \times 6 = 48 \]

Thus, the total number of class officer combinations available is 48.
