Solution Steps
To determine the number of different outfits Juan can wear, we need to calculate the product of the number of choices he has for each clothing item. Since he must wear one of each item, we multiply the number of pants, shirts, ties, and jackets together.
Step 1: Determine the Number of Choices for Each Clothing Item
Juan has the following number of choices for each clothing item:
Pants: 6 choices
Shirts: 3 choices
Ties: 5 choices
Jackets: 3 choices
Step 2: Calculate the Total Number of Outfits
To find the total number of different outfits Juan can wear, multiply the number of choices for each item:
\[
\text{Total Outfits} = 6 \times 3 \times 5 \times 3
\]
