Suppose you are looking for a new car and have narrowed down your decision down to a Mustang, but can’t decide on the exact color, transmission, engine, or options package. There are three sizes of engine (3.0 liters, 3.8 liters, and 4.6 liters), two transmissions (standard and automatic), five colors you like (black, silver, red, yellow, and green), and three option packages (GL, Sport, and XL). With all these possible choices, you want to know how many different Mustangs there are from which you must choose.
