Answer:
1680
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of distinct Toppings wanted = 4
Total number of vegetarian topping = 8
To choose 4 distinct toppings from a total of 8
Using permutation :
nPr : n! (n - r)!
8P4 = 8! / 4!
8P4 = (8*7*6*5)
8P4 = 1680
Answer:
It is being multiplied by 6 each time.
Step-by-step explanation:4x6, 24x6

I'm assuming that this question is badly formatted and that the actual number of appetizers is 7, the number of entres is 10, and that there's 4 choices of desserts. So let's take each course by itself.
You can choose 1 of 7 appetizers. So we have
n = 7
After that, you chose an entre, so the number of possible meals to this point is
n = 7 * 10 = 70
Finally, you finish off with a dessert, so the number of meals is:
n = 70 * 4 = 280
Therefore the number of possible meals you can have is 280.
Note: If the values of 77, 1010 and 44 aren't errors, but are actually correct, then the number of meals is
n = 77 * 1010 * 44 = 3421880
But I believe that it's highly unlikely that the numbers in this problem are correct. Just imagine the amount of time it would take for someone to read a menu with over a thousand entres in it. And working in that kitchen would be an absolute nightmare.</span>
