She will select two meats out of 5 options, 1 cheese out of 3 options, and exactly 3 or exactly 5 vegetables out of the 7 options. She will also decide whether to add mayo or not. How many ways can she make her sandwich. 

Expert Solution
Step 1- Writing given data

Given that 

Amy is making a sandwich for lunch and needs to select her sandwich fixings.

She will select two meats out of 5 options = 5C2 = 10 ways.

She will select 1 cheese out of 3 options = 3C1 = 3 ways.

She will select exactly 3 or exactly 5 vegetables  =  2 ways  [ Either 3 or 5 veggies ]

Number of ways of selecting 3 vegetables from 7 available = 7C3 =35 ways.

Number of ways of selecting 5 vegetables from 7 available = 7C5 = 21 ways.

She will also decide whether to add mayo or not = 2 ways.
