I have 2 Flavors of Ice Cream and 30 different toppings how many different combinations can I Make?

Question

I want the answer and also The formula on how to answer this Question.

Answer 1

here it is (really long )

use binomial probability to calculate combos

formula = (2C1+2C2)*(30C1+30C2+30C3+30C4+30C5+.... 30C30)

hope this helps  

Answer 2

60

for this one just do 2 times 30 but it gets harder the more combinations.

Answer 3

it depends on how many toppings you can add to a single ice cream.

60 is the correct answer if you can only add one topping.  

Answer 4

This is a very interesting question.

The number of ice cream combinations is 3..   A, B and A+B

The number of topping combinations is huge

There are 30  1 flavor combinations

There are, I believe,  30 *29/2   2 flavor combinations (You divide by 2 because topping A plus topping B is the same as topping B plus topping A)

Then 30 * 29 * 28/ (2*3)   3 flavor combinations

And so on until there is 1 30 topping flavor combination

You get the idea.   There may be some elegant formula to calculate the total number of combinations but I don't know it.   Rather,  it is the number of ice cream combinations  3  times the number of topping combinations (huge)

Answer 5

you just multiply 30x2. 30 being the toppings and 2 the ice cream flavors. because if you put each topping on each flavor once, you'll get 60 different combinations.

Answer 6

60 and you take the number of topping you can put on 1 and keep doing for more amounts
