To find the total number of different meal combinations possible at the restaurant, you can multiply the number of choices available in each category.
The customer can choose:
- 4 types of appetizers
- 5 main courses
- 3 desserts
The total number of meal combinations is calculated as follows:
\[
\text{Total combinations} = (\text{number of appetizers}) \times (\text{number of main courses}) \times (\text{number of desserts})
\]
\[
\text{Total combinations} = 4 \times 5 \times 3
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
4 \times 5 = 20
\]
\[
20 \times 3 = 60
\]
Therefore, the total number of different meal combinations possible is **60**.
