Solution

To find the total number of dinner specials possible, you need to multiply the number of choices for each course together.

Here's how:

  1. Appetizer: There are 4 choices (Onion rings, Nachos, Potato skins, Shrimp cocktail).
  2. Salad: There are 3 choices (Southwest, Caesar, Garden).
  3. Entree: There are 4 choices (Salmon, T-bone steak, Grilled chicken, Roast turkey).
  4. Side dish: There are 5 choices (Rice, French fries, Mixed vegetables, Corn, Pinto beans).
  5. Dessert: There are 3 choices (Apple pie, Chocolate cake, Ice cream).

So, the total number of dinner specials possible is 4 (appetizers) * 3 (salads) * 4 (entrees) * 5 (side dishes) * 3 (desserts) = 720 possible dinner specials.
