(A) 5 (B) 10 (C) 12 (D) 15 (E) 50
Since the order in which we select the pictures does not matter, we can use combinations.
We must consider two possible cases: 1) Veronica includes 3 of her pictures We can select 3 pictures from 5 pictures in 5C3 ways 5C3 = 10
2) Veronica includes 4 of her pictures We can select 4 pictures from 5 pictures in 5C4 ways 5C4 = 5
ASIDE: Below, there's a video that shows you how to quickly calculate combinations (like 5C3) in your head
Total number of possibilities = 10 + 5 = 15 = D
Cheers, Brent
