Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mr Johnston can choose one pair of pants out of 3.
He can then choose one shirt out of 6.
He can then choose one tie out of 11.
Finally, he can choose one sports coat out of 10.
The total number of outfits he can wear is:
3 x 6 x 11 x 10 = 1980. To find the total number of outfits, we need to multiply the number of options for each item:
3 (pants) x 6 (shirts) x 11 (ties) x 10 (sports coats) = 1,980. Therefore, the best choice is D)1980.
