Let's break it down! The Baker family needs to choose one bed, one desk, and one dresser to make their perfect furniture set. If we imagine there are options A and B for dressers, and let's say there are 'x' choices for beds and 'y' choices for desks, the total combinations would be x * y * 2 (since there are 2 choices for dressers). So if, for example, there were 3 beds and 4 desks, that would be 3 * 4 * 2 = 24 different furniture sets! Now, if we're moving forward and they want the flexibility to mix and match, they could even switch out items later on. Just remember to keep track of their favorites, or they might end up in a whirlwind of options! It could be a fun game to narrow down choices, making a family activity out of furniture selection!
