Solution:

  1. 48 cheese sales have been made
  2. The first sale could have been one of 34 different types of cheese
  3. The second sale could also have been one of 34 different types of cheese etc.
  4. The 48th sale could also have been one of 34 different types of cheese
  5. Each sale is independent of every other sale, so each event increases the number of possible restocking orders by a factor of 34
  6. Therefore, the number of possible restocking orders = 3448
