Question: How do you represent the tables below using Tree Diagrams? The instructor likes the tables but wants me to include a visual representation for each

How do you represent the tables below using Tree Diagrams? The instructor likes the tables but wants me to include a visual representation for each table I created. I get confused when trying to make the table because the diagram would become so large.

***Instructor comment: I don't want to count every branch... how can we use a portion of the tree to come up with the final answer? The tree plus a bit of explanation will do the trick.

The original Question:

Q3: A snack cupboard contains seven chocolate bars (milk, 70%, 92%, hazelnut, vanilla, caramel, hot chilli), six different jars of peanuts, three different bags of chips, and four bags of pretzel sticks (original, gluten free, pumpernickel, unsalted). In how many ways can a tray of snacks be put together if the tray must contain only one chocolate bar, one jar of peanuts, one bag of chips, and either

a) any number of bags of pretzel sticks; or

b) one bag of pretzel sticks?

Provide an appropriate diagram with your solution process.
