The lunch menu at a certain resturaunt contains 4 different entrees and 5 different sides. A meal consists of 1 entree and 2 different sides. How many different meal combinations are there?
10
20
40
80
100

I swear I got this one, but the answer key says I didnt.
I also searched for previous posts and did not find it.

I just realized what I did.

4 entrees X ((5 sides X 4 sides)/2! duplicate permutations) = 40
