One day, Jackie was having a really hard time thinking of a cute outfit to wear. She kept coming across the same thought, "if you have 4 pairs of jeans, 3 shirts, and 2 pairs of running shoes, how many different outfits can you make?" Each outfit contains one pair of running shoes bought from the FootLocker.

LOL! Did FootLocker sponsor this question?! :-)
The answer is 24, as follows:
4 * 3 * 2 = 24

The number of different outfits possible is the product of the number of jeans, shirts and pairs of shoes.
It = 4*3*2 = 24
There are 24 possible outfits.

If both pairs of shoes come from FootLocker, then there are 24 variations.
If only one of those pairs come from FootLocker, then there are only 12 combinations.
If neither of those pairs of shoes come from FootLocker, then there are no possible outfits.

multiply the number of options for each together so for this problme it would be the number of jeans times the number of shirts times the number of pairs of shoes.
4 time 3 times 2 = 24
