Question

A cupcake store has 5 different kinds of cupcakes: chocolate, vanilla, lemon, strawberry, and coffee. Assuming there are at least 12 of each kind of cupcake, how many ways can you choose 12 cupcakes

Answer 1

Assuming there are at least 12 of each kind of cupcake, number of ways can you choose 12 cupcakes is; 1399358844975 ways

How to solve probability combination?

We are given the quantity of each type of cupcake as follows;

Number of types of cupcakes = 5

Number of Chocolate Cupcakes = 12

Number of Vanilla Cupcakes = 12

Number of Lemon cupcakes = 12

Number of Strawberry Cupcakes = 12

Number of coffee cupcakes = 12

Thus, total number of cupcakes will be gotten by adding all the quantities given above of the different types of cupcakes and we will get; Total number of cupcakes = 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12

Total number of cupcakes = 60

Now, since there is no order of selection, then the number of ways that you can choose 12 cupcakes will be gotten by using the combination formula which is; nCr = n!/(n!(n - r)!)

Thus, number of ways that you can choose 12 cupcakes =

60C12 = 60!/(12! * (60 - 12)!) = 1399358844975 ways
