Hi Bunuel

The question says 'A burger must include meat'
But it doesn't limit customers to only one kind of meat. Based on the question stem, a customer could select all 3 types of meat (however unhealthy it is :p)
In that case, won't there be 7 ways (3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3) to select meat?
Please clarify.

Regards

Hello All,

The question here says 'A burger must include meat', however it doesn't limit customers to only one kind of meat. Thus shouldn't it be the case where he can select any kind/number of meat (number >=1)
In that case, won't there be 7 ways (3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3) to select meat?
Please clarify.

Regards

The question could be made clearer; I thought that the customer can have multiple different types of meat.

Yeah this question should have mentioned. Customer can have only 1 type of meat in addition to must.
As it is answer should be 7*2^7.
