What are the number of choices?

Whenever you have multiple choices, you have to multiply the number of choices you have in different groups to get the final number of choices.

For example, you have to make a sandwich and you can either use white bread or brown bread. Also, you can either use jam or peanut butter or veggies. Therefore, here the number of choices is 6.

  • White bread and Jam
  • White bread and Peanut butter
  • White bread and Veggies
  • Brown bread and Jam
  • Brown bread and Peanut butter
  • Brown bread and Veggies

Similarly, Jordan has two choices for type, two choices for transmission, 5 choices for color, and 2 choices for the top. Therefore, the number of choices Jordan has is,

Number of choices in total = 2 × 2 × 5 × 2

Hence, Jordan's error is He should have multiplied the choices, instead of adding them. Thus, the correct option is D.
