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

Number of ways to choose two appetizers:

\mathrm{C(4,2)=4 ! /(2 ! \times(4-2) !)=4 ! /(2 ! \times 2 !)=(4 \times 3) /(2 \times 1)=6}

Number of ways to choose one main course: 10

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 }=6 \times 10 \times 15=900}
