What are permutation and combination?

A permutation is the number of different ways a set can be organized; order matters in permutations, but not in combinations.

We have:

Anita has a costume wardrobe that consists of 2 pairs of tights (1 white pair and 1 black pair), 3 T-shirts (1 pink, 1 blue, and 1 green), and 3 scarves (1 silver, 1 gold, and 1 white).

The costume consists of either a pair of tights or a T-shirt with a scarf:

In this case total number of ways = 2×3×3 = 18

Pair of tights and a T-shirt without a scarf:

In this case total number of ways = 2×3 = 6

Total number of different costumes are possible:

= 18 + 6

= 24

Thus, the total number of different costumes possible is 24 if  Anita has a costume wardrobe that consists of 2 pairs of tights, 3 T-shirts, and 3 scarves.
