1 answer

First, we need to calculate the total number of possible combinations of meats and vegetables for the supreme choice pizza.

For meats, there are 4 options to choose from, and we need to select 2 different meats. This can be calculated using combination formula: nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!, where n is the total number of options and r is the number of selections.

4C2 = 4! / 2!(4-2)! = 6

Similarly, for vegetables, there are 9 options to choose from, and we need to select 2 different vegetables.

9C2 = 9! / 2!(9-2)! = 36

Now, we need to find the total number of combinations of meats and vegetables for the supreme choice pizza:

Total combinations = number of meat combinations * number of vegetable combinations
Total combinations = 6 * 36 = 216

Next, we need to consider the crust options. There are 6 types of crust to choose from, so for each combination of meats and vegetables, there are 6 different choices of crust.

Therefore, the total number of different supreme choice pizzas that can be made is:

Total combinations = 216 * 6 = 1296

So, there are 1296 different supreme choice pizzas that can be made at Pizza Paradise.
