The math behind the dish
To find the total number of order combinations for our popular Bissell Breakfast, first, we need to consider the choices available for each component of the dish:
1. Eggs: 6 ways to prepare (over easy, over medium, over hard, scrambled, sunny side up, poached)
2. Breakfast Protein: 5 options (bacon, Canadian bacon, sausage links, sausage patties, turkey sausage links)
3. Toast: 5 types of toast (white, whole wheat, English muffin, biscuit, eight-grain)
4. Side: 6 options (cheese grits, grits, hashbrowns, homefries, fruit, seasoned French fries)
5. Short Stack of Pancakes: Assuming this has no variation, it’s 1 option.
The total number of combinations is calculated by multiplying the number of choices for each component:
Total combinations=(Choices for eggs)×(Choices for breakfast protein)×(Choices for toast)×(Choices for side)×(Choices for pancakes)\text{Total combinations} = (\text{Choices for eggs}) \times (\text{Choices for breakfast protein}) \times (\text{Choices for toast}) \times (\text{Choices for side}) \times (\text{Choices for pancakes})Total combinations=(Choices for eggs)×(Choices for breakfast protein)×(Choices for toast)×(Choices for side)×(Choices for pancakes)
Plugging in the numbers:
Total combinations=6×5×5×6×1\text{Total combinations} = 6 \times 5 \times 5 \times 6 \times 1Total combinations=6×5×5×6×1
