Solve the problem by using the counting principle. (:
Drapery is sold in 4 different fabrics. Each fabric comes in 13 different patterns. Each pattern is offered in 9 different colors. How many fabric-pattern-color combinations are there?
so 4 fabrices
13 pattersns per fabric
9 colors per fabric
first consider 4 fabrrics and 13 paterns
13 patterns per fabric and 4 fabric so 4 times 13=52 total
then 9
52 patterns
9 for each
52 times 9=468
468 patterns total
