Question

Answer:

The total number of combinations is 2,560.

To find the total, we need to use the number of options for all 4 of the categories. Once we have those number, we just need to multiply them to find the total number of possibilities. This is called the Fundamental Counting Principle.

8 x 8 x 8 x 5 = 2560
