Say there are 4 stations for ice cream toppings.

station1: 3 choices
station2: 2 choices
station3: 2 choices
station4: 3 choices

How many different combinations toppings can I get assuming I pick 1 topping from each station?

Would it be 3 * 2 * 2 * 3 = 36

Yes, assuming the combinations don't need to be distinct (or no 2 stations serve the same choice).

Personally, I prefer distinct ice cream toppings on my ice cream.

    All 10 choices are distinct and I'm only looking for distinct combinations, should have specified in problem. – Lightsout Nov 06 '14 at 11:08
