Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Apply the counting principle

The number of ways to choose an outfit is the product of the number of ways to choose each item.

Step2: Calculate the total number of outfits

The total number of outfits is the product of the number of dresses, shoes, and accessories. So we calculate (5\times4\times7). [5\times4\times7=(5\times4)\times7 = 20\times7=140]

Answer:

140
