Q. Bruce and Krista are going to buy a new furniture set for their living room. They want to buy a couch, a coffee table, and a recliner. They have narrowed it down so that they are choosing between 44 couches, 55 coffee tables, and 99 recliners.\newlineHow many different furniture combinations are possible?
  1. Couch Options: Bruce and Krista have 44 options for couches.
  2. Coffee Table Choices: They got 55 choices for coffee tables.
  3. Recliner Selection: And they're looking at 99 recliners to pick from.
  4. Calculate Total Combinations: To find the total combinations, multiply the number of options for each item: couches×coffee tables×recliners\text{couches} \times \text{coffee tables} \times \text{recliners}.
  5. Multiply Couches, Coffee Tables, Recliners: So it's like 44 couches ×\times 55 coffee tables ×\times 99 recliners.
  6. Final Calculation: Doing the math, that's 4×5=204 \times 5 = 20, then 20×9=18020 \times 9 = 180.
