Poppy owns an Ice-cream Parlour and wants to be able to give her customers a variety of options – different flavours, syrup and toppings. If she has five different ice cream flavours, four different syrups and three different toppings, how many different combinations are possible? To offer the most variety, should she add a new ice-cream flavour, a new syrup or a new topping?
Ice-cream flavours: Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate, Banana and Rainbow
Syrups: Caramel, Chocolate, Strawberry and Raspberry
Toppings: 100’s and 1000’s; nuts and toffee crisps.
If Poppy makes a random combination what are the chances she will serve up an icecream sundae with nuts?
