(I'm correcting my cousins math homework and want to make sure this is right). To solve, it's basically 4+3+8=15 which makes 15 the correct answer, right?

Or is it$$4*3*8= 96$$?

anonymous · Answer

Oh wait never mind I remember what I have to do. To everyone who is looking for the answer: It's; $$4*3*8=96$$ BECAUSE:
The question asks 'AND' which means that he has to choose one of each wood, paint and house styles. IF it was asking 'OR' then it would be:$$4+3+8=15$$ BECAUSE:
it means that you can only have ONE option/choice.
