  1. Pillow Choices: Choices for pillows: black or white, so 22 options.
  2. Sheet Choices: Choices for sheets: striped or plaid, so 22 options.
  3. Comforter Choices: Choices for comforter: solid, polka-dot, or zebra-print, so 33 options.
  4. Calculate Total Combinations: Calculate the total combinations: 22 (pillows) ×\times 22 (sheets) ×\times 33 (comforter).
  5. Total Combinations: Total combinations = 2×2×3=122 \times 2 \times 3 = 12.
