Answer 2

1,regular, black

Answer 3

And etc.

Answer 4

Let's say the sizes of jeans can be shown as A. Each size, A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5, can come in a different 'fit'. This will be B. There are three 'fit's, B1, B2, and B3. Also, there are two colors, C1 and C2. If you match up one from each category, you can get a whole list of all combinations. This might seem to wear you out, so putting it straight, Multiply the numbers (5, 3, and 2) to get the number of combos.

Answer 5

Or I could have just said 30.
