One of my first moderately expensive purchases when I was a college student was that of an audio system. At that time an audio system consisted of a receiver, a set of speakers, a turntable, and a cassette tape player.

If the audio store offered 15 receivers, 9 speaker options, 6 turntables, and 6 cassette tape players, how many different audio systems could I have purchased
