To calculate the number of ways a customer can choose one appetizer, two main courses, and two desserts, we need to multiply the number of options for each category.

Number of ways to choose one appetizer: 4

Number of ways to choose two main courses:

\mathrm{C(10,2)=10 ! /(2 ! \times(10-2) !)=10 ! /(2 ! \times 8 !)=(10 \times 9) /(2 \times 1)=45}

Number of ways to choose two desserts:

\mathrm{C(6,2)=6 ! /(2 ! \times(6-2) !)=6 ! /(2 ! \times 4 !)=(6 \times 5) /(2 \times 1)=15}

To calculate the total number of ways, we multiply these three numbers together:

\mathrm{\text { Total number of ways }=4 \times 45 \times 15=2700}

Therefore, there are 2700 ways for a customer to choose one appetizer, two main courses, and two desserts from the given menu.
