The math behind the guest-favorite 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
