Since we have three Sweet Deals offerings (2 products for $3, 3 products for $4, or 4 products for $5), we add up each of the available combinations within each offering: [(24+2-1)! ÷ 2!(24-1)!] + [(24+3-1)! ÷ 3!(24-1)!] + [(24+4-1)! ÷ 4!(24-1)!] = 300 + 2600 + 17550 = 20450 This, of course, accounts for potentially purchasing two hot dogs as a combination or even 4 soft drinks of the varying flavors. We’ve gotten this comment a couple times now so here’s the answer we’ve been given.

24 total products available on the sweet deals menu:
6 flavors of sundaes
6 flavors of soft drinks
3 flavors of dipped cones
4 types of chicken wraps
1 size fry
1 cheeseburger
1 size onion ring
1 side salad
1 hot dog

With the potential product offering mix in mind, we approached the problem using an equation that provides total “combinations with repetition.” The equation for each Sweet Deals product offering is:
(n+r-1)! ÷ r!(n-1)!

Since we have three Sweet Deals offerings (2 products for $3, 3 products for $4, or 4 products for $5), we add up each of the available combinations within each offering:
[(24+2-1)! ÷ 2!(24-1)!] + [(24+3-1)! ÷ 3!(24-1)!] + [(24+4-1)! ÷ 4!(24-1)!]
= 300 + 2600 + 17550
= 20450

This, of course, accounts for potentially purchasing two hot dogs as a combination or even 4 soft drinks of the varying flavors.

There are more than 20,000 combinations to be made!" 9x9=81 9x9x9=729 9x9x9x9=6561 (assuming you ordered four identical items) Unless DQ is splitting hairs by including in their math different pop flavors and burger condiments and the like, the "more than 20,000 combinations to be made" claim is utterly untrue. That they would be so blatant about it doesn't speak well of their opinion of their customers' general intelligence. “…nine menu items, choosing two items for $3, three for $4 and four for $5.

9×9=81
9x9x9=729
9x9x9x9=6561 (assuming you ordered four identical items)
