QuestionNovember 22, 2024 at 10:15 AM Next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday Hank will eat lunch at a fast food restaurant that offers 8 types of hamburgers and 5 types of chicken sandwiches. Each day Hank orders one of these options. How many overall outcomes are possible?

Studdy Solution
Calculate $13^5$:
$$13^5 = 13 \times 13 \times 13 \times 13 \times 13$$
$$13^2 = 169$$ $$13^3 = 169 \times 13 = 2197$$ $$13^4 = 2197 \times 13 = 28561$$ $$13^5 = 28561 \times 13 = 371293$$
The total number of overall outcomes possible for Hank's lunch choices over the 5 days is:
$$\boxed{371293}$$
