TexMex Take-out (Posted on 2007-02-25) Difficulty: 3 of 5
A restaurant offers a take-out deal where any combination of 10 items can be purchased for $5. The menu choices are divided into five types: Tacos, Burritos, Tamales, Chiles Rellenos, and Chimichangas. For example, a person could order 2 Tacos, 4 Burritos, a Tamal and 3 Chimichangas. Or maybe 7 Tamales and 3 Chiles Rellenos. Or perhaps 10 Chimichangas and nothing else. How many different ten-item combinations are available?
