The Multiplication Rule for Counting · Example 1

Every card in a standard deck of cards has two identifying characteristics: a suit (clubs, diamonds, hearts, or spades; these are indicated by these symbols, respectively: $♣$ , $♢$ , $♡$ , $♠$ ) and a rank (ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack, queen, and king; the letters A, J, Q, and K are used to represent the words). Each possible pair of suit and rank appears exactly once in the deck. How many cards are in the standard deck?
