The answer is 19,684.

We can use combinations to answer this:

We want to know how many ways we can choose 2 slices of bread from 38 slices and choose 1 slice of cheese from 28 slices.  The combinations involved would be look like:

[tex]_{38}C_2\times _{28}C_1 \\ \\=\frac{38!}{2!36!} \times \frac{28!}{1!27!} \\ \\=703\times28 \\=19,684[/tex]
